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.

This is a partnership between The Trust, Camden and Shaftesbury plc. The section of Neal Street (Shelton Street to Long Acre) which falls under Westminster’s control, is also being relit with our Covent Garden Lanterns^®, in partnership with Westminster and The Mercers’ Company.

The new lanterns are fitted with the latest LED ZETA lamps within a Victorian-style 'sugar bowl'. This provides a light suitable for our conservation area as well as being more environmentally-friendly and cost-effective. In the coming months, the existing Phase I lanterns will be retrofitted with the same lamps, also supported by Shaftesbury plc and The Mercers’ Company.
