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 Lighting Partnership ‘highly commended’ at Highways Magazine Excellence Awards 2015 –

Our Covent Garden Lighting Partnership received a 'highly-commended' accolade in the prestigious Highways Magazine Excellence Awards at the Lancaster Hotel, London in October 2015.

In 1986, the Kleinwort Benson Property Fund (KBPF), then developing a former banana warehouse into the Thomas Neal's Centre, kindly lent us the corner unit facing the Dials for a fundraising pop-up shop. The shop was designed and built by trustee Paul Draper with interior design provided pro bono by Paul Dyson Design.

Over the years the Trust has received pro bono help from many quarters. Our first exhibition, Architecture, History, Horology, was created by four design students from the Royal Opera House Covent Garden. The ROH also created extraordinary facsimiles of the Sundial Pillar and the music for the Royal Unveiling. The exhibition brochure was kindly sponsored by International Banking Information Systems Ltd, who had their offices on Seven Dial and who also hosted many of our meetings and provided administrative assistance as well as becoming a Sundial Sponsor.
