Charles Goad Insurance Plan of London, sheet 224 [Soho: Oxford Street, Dean Street, Wardour Street and Soho Square]
Goad's fire insurance plan of London, sheet 224, covers Soho Square, Dean Street and Wardour Street (W1), then the film trade's quarter. Twentieth Century Fox's Soho Square film offices, purpose-built in 1936, emptied when Fox left in 2020. The sheet shows small offices, film premises and stores filling the blocks around Great Chapel Street and Dean Street, where the Elizabeth line's entrance of 2022 replaced dense commercial fabric with transport infrastructure. From 1968 to 1981 St Anne's Court held Trident Studios, where the Beatles recorded Hey Jude and Bowie made Ziggy Stardust. Aston Webb's French Protestant Church of 1893 still serves its congregation, and Dryden Chambers and GPO offices are also marked. Goad's plans were kept to assess property and fire risk, and they were corrected with pasted overlays recording changes of use, altered layouts, demolition and new building. The latest dated correction is October 1970, and a later pencil note records 116–128 Wardour Street as all demolished in 1972. The sheet was resurveyed and reissued in November 1960, with a 1960 copyright date, and the key plan acquired with the group records corrections to October 1970. Other streets on the sheet include Oxford Street, Soho Street, Hollen Street, Fareham Street, Sheraton Street, Carlisle Street, Frith Street and Bateman Street.
