5.Seven Dials

WC2 Google Map

“Covent Garden’s hidden village”, this unusual street layout was created by Thomas Neale (1641–99), MP as a way to increase rents, which were then charged by frontage size rather than interior space. The sundial at the central monument has only six faces. The seven streets leading off it contain a mix of shops, offices, restaurants and theatres.
