Soho is the West End’s late-night quarter: small theatres, comedy rooms, jazz clubs, record shops and a long-standing LGBTQ+ scene around Old Compton Street, with Chinatown just to the south.
It’s not the cheapest part of London, but there are free and cheap things on most nights if you know where to look: comedy previews, gallery openings, talks and screenings. This page covers Soho and the streets right around it.
