Seven Dials Court in Covent Garden

Seven Dials Court in Covent Garden

Seven Dials Court is a small enclosed space off the streets that radiate from the Seven Dials junction. It sits within the tight network of narrow blocks that make up this part of Covent Garden, tucked away from the main flow of the surrounding streets. As a minor court rather than a through route, it offers a quieter pocket a short step from the busier shopping streets around the sundial column. The scale is small and the setting largely functional, serving the buildings that face onto it. Its position within the Seven Dials district ties it to the wider character of independent shops and dining found across the area, though the court itself is a modest and contained space. Seven Dials Court is best understood as part of the fine grained pattern of yards and passages that give this corner of the district its close, enclosed feel.
