6, Old Compton Street

No. 6 Old Compton Street is a house that has been converted into a restaurant with accommodation above. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century and has undergone later alterations. The building is constructed of rendered brick and features a tiled butterfly roof that is set behind a parapet. It stands three and a half storeys tall and has two bays. The ground floor has a late 20th-century restaurant entrance and fascia. The first and second floors contain a pair of casement windows with overlights in nearly flush frames, complete with rendered cills. The tall proportions of the windows may reflect an earlier window style. A plain rendered band runs along the eaves. At the rear, there is a timber casement dormer.

Inside, the original plan form is retained above the ground floor, which includes a closet wing at the rear. The staircase features a moulded closed string, a moulded rail, and columnar newels with square bases and knobs, although the finials are missing. The balusters have been boarded in or removed, but the visible features are comparable to staircases found at Nos. 2 and 4 Old Compton Street and 101 Charing Cross Road. The stairwell showcases deeply moulded box cornicing and plain panelling, with further panelling likely hidden beneath later cladding. This building is a rare survival from the early phase of Soho's development, alongside Nos. 2, 4, and 5 Old Compton Street and 101 Charing Cross Road.
