Covent Garden residents have access to some of the capital’s finest restaurants and retailers, not to mention world class cultural attractions in the form of the Royal Opera House and numerous theatres, museums and galleries. Educational powerhouses The London School of Economics, King’s College and University of London all have major campuses nearby, making the neighbourhood an ideal home for culture vultures and students alike.

Tiring of the Covent Garden lifestyle is pretty much impossible, there’s just so much to do! But if you feel the need to spread your wings, Soho, Mayfair, the City of London and the South Bank are all within easy reach, not to mention numerous transport options including tube, crossrail, mainline rail and river boat, making the area one of the most well connected neighbourhoods in the capital.

Seven Dials and the surrounding area was developed in the early 1690’s by MP Thomas Neale. His original vision was to compete with the already established Covent Garden to attract affluent residents. However, by the early 1900’s much of the area was repurposed as warehousing for fruit and vegetables supplied to nearby Covent Garden Market, with many of the buildings designed in the attractive Dutch style and remaining to this day.

Nowadays, Seven Dials has much more of a village feel closer to Neale’s original vision. An eclectic mix of cobbled streets, historic architecture, the buzzy enclave of Neal’s Yard, theatres such as the Donmar Warehouse, Seven Dial’s Market with its independent street food vendors, numerous coffee shops and the iconic sundial give the area a unique atmosphere making it a destination for food lovers and fashionistas from across the Capital.
