About Our Community
SOHO is a diverse community in London, Ontario where people from all backgrounds and the businesses that serve them come together to create a welcoming and inclusive space for all.
The neighbourhood of SOHO (“South of Horton”) has existed within the same boundaries since London, Ontario’s inception in 1840. Originally named St. David’s Ward, this neighbourhood is bordered on the north by the CN railroad tracks parallel to, and north of Horton St., on the east by Adelaide St., and on the south and west by the Thames River.
Our Story
SOHO has a long history of community involvement. The current Board of Directors was elected in June 2024 at a public meeting after a several-year absence. The previous organization had become dormant after COVID-19.
The current Board of Directors would like to thank our contacts from the SOHO community who have helped to re-establish the Association.
