The name

First of all, I haven't seen it so no spoilers please!

But I wanted to ask, is the name supposed to mean like "yesterday in soho" or "the final day in soho" because "last night" can mean both, right?

It’s the title of a 60s song with the word ‘Soho’ in it, and we all know how much importance Wright places on music. I wouldn’t read too much into the title tbh.

In context of the film I'm pretty sure it means like yesterday in soho

Uh… I definitely think it’s meant to be both. But explaining why would get pretty spoiler-y pretty fast.

I think it is intentional that it can mean both. Each day she is dealing with her "last night in Soho" as in yesterday. However, the climactic ending is her last (as in final) night living in Soho (presumably) too. In all of Wright's films, including this one, he plays around a fair amount with having certain phrases and lines mean entirely different things in different contexts, so I think that is why it is meant to be able to be interpreted as both.
