The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Soho
The go-to district for a good time in London, Soho hosts a wealth of world-class theatres and a compelling lineup of cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars, and clubs. At Soho's core is London's original Red Light District and the epicenter of the LGBT scene – and thus the city's hottest nightlife. For shopping enthusiasts, Soho is not only the home of London's greatest concentration of boutique shops, but also the most strategic place to set off on a tour of the world's most celebrated department stores. In the southern part of the neighbourhood lies Chinatown, with its multitude of delicious and affordable restaurants. Closer to the Thames, Chinatown's narrow and teeming lantern-lit lanes spill onto the expansive hub of glitzy Leicester Square.

Hi there.
I am a customer of Compton's so I'll answer as much as I know...
-They are open every day from about midday until late.
-Disabled access is OK to the ground floor but not upstairs.
-I've never seen dogs in there.
-There is no free wifi that I know of.
-I've paid recently with credit/debit/contactless.
-There is some parking outside in Old Compton Street. I never drive to Central London so I don't know what the restrictions are.
-There is no happy hour that I know of.
I hope this helps but you can call them on 020 3238 0163.
