Soho by Yareal

Across all of Poland, the trend for turning old industrial spaces into cultural hubs is progressing well, and why should Warsaw be any different, huh? The 8ha of Soho Factory in the Praga district is now firmly set as a cultural venue mixed with a collection of designer shops, office spaces and restaurants. Post-industrial chique certainly sums up this part of town well. The crowning glory of the site is no doubt the illuminating (non pun intended) Neon Museum, bringing together communist-era Poland’s many neon signs which were for a long time associated with bad times and thrown on the rubbish heap until they were collected by passionate curators of the museum.
