Earlham Street runs through the western part of Covent Garden, one of the streets radiating from the Seven Dials junction where several routes meet at a single point marked by a sundial column. It is a lively street of independent shops, eating places and small businesses, with a character shaped by its position within the distinctive Seven Dials layout. Frontages along Earlham Street include fashion and lifestyle retailers, cafes and other independent traders, giving it a busy but human-scaled feel set apart from the larger chain-dominated streets nearby. A section of the street has long been associated with a small street market, adding to its animated, everyday atmosphere. The buildings are a mix of ages, many of modest height, in keeping with the intimate scale of the Seven Dials district. Earlham Street connects the area around Cambridge Circus and Charing Cross Road with the streets running towards the Piazza, forming part of the network that ties the western edge of Covent Garden together. Its combination of independent retail, market activity and its place among the radiating streets of Seven Dials gives Earlham Street a strong local identity within the wider district.
