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.

Sponsors for these plaques are Shaftesbury plc (Seven Dials plaque); The Mercers' Company (Mercer Street plaque); trustee Anja Saunders (Short's Gardens plaque); CBRE Global Investors (Earlham Street plaque); and an iconic local business has sponsored the plaque for Monmouth Street.

A further five streets are due to receive plaques shortly – Neal Street, Langley Street, Long Acre, Shelton Street and the stretch of Mercer Street between Long Acre and Shelton Street. These have been spnsored by The Mercers' Company.

We are very happy to discuss the posibility of extending the scheme to other streets in the area.

  These elegant plaques tell the story of each street and the area as a whole. You may propose other streets for further plaques. They are 37cm x 57cms with the sponsor’s names on the top right of each plaque.

The one-off cost of sponsorship is a minimum of £1,600 via Gift Aid (otherwise £2,000).
