Seven Dials Covent Garden is a unique quarter of London whose star-shaped layout remains as constructed in the early 1690s. It was brought back to life largely through the dedication of the Seven Dials Trust, working in partnership with the local authorities and landowners for nearly forty years.

The handsome wall-mounted plaques draw on research carried out by local historian Steve Denford and include illustrations. They are designed to give an accessible overview of the area and its rich history.

Each plaque is sponsored and we are grateful to Anja Saunders (Short’s Gardens), Shaftesbury (The Dials), The Mercers’ Company (Mercer Street) and CBRE Global Investors (Earlham Street). The plaque for Monmouth Street (sponsored anonymously) is due for installation shortly. We are currently in discussions about extending the scheme.
