London's vibrant cultural, retail and hospitality hub

London's vibrant cultural, retail and hospitality hub

Carnaby Street and Soho combine distinctive character and energy with world-class retail, hospitality and culture, creating one of London's most influential destinations. Linking Oxford Street and Regent Street through a vibrant pedestrianised network, this unique neighbourhood brings together global fashion flagships, one-of-a-kind retail concepts, independent boutiques and creative businesses with an acclaimed culinary scene. From the buzzing open-air courtyard and three thriving storeys of Kingly Court, where independent restaurants serve flavours from around the world, to the charm and character of Soho’s streets and courtyards, there’s always something new to explore.

I’m so proud of how far Darjeeling Express has come in the last few years – what started as a passion project for me has become a mainstay of Indian dining in London, and a successful example of female empowerment in hospitality. As we continue to grow, Shaftesbury Capital has supported us with a space that allows our all-female team to remain front and centre, while taking the next step in our exciting journey.

Carnaby Street is one of London’s busiest and most iconic shopping streets, making it the ideal location for our first European store. This opening allows us to bring something exclusive to UK customers, offering a carefully curated range of apparel and accessories they can’t find anywhere else. Surrounded by standout brands and a style-conscious audience, we’re able to build on the success we’ve achieved in the US, while establishing Edikted as a must-visit brand in Europe.
