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 infamous Roxy, showcase for punk music and host to all the major bands of the genre, was housed in the basement of a Neal Street warehouse for two eventful years.

Stephen Rimbault was one of the greatest clockmakers of the eighteenth century. Of Huguenot descent, he was based in Seven Dials between c.1744 and c.1770.
