Seven dials in Camden

The Seven Dials area was originally laid out in the early 1690's in a series of triangles in order to maximize the number of rental houses that could be built in hopes of attracting wealthy clientele and complement, if not compete, with the Covent Garden Piazza development. The Sundial Pillar, completed in 1694, was its centrepiece. Things didn't work out as planned and while the area has had a varied past, it is now a lively area of shopping, dining and theatre. When you're in the Covent Garden's area, walk over and check out Seven Dials. (Christmas is one of its special times.) See if you can actually tell the time via the sun dials.

En esta zona encontré tiendas muy chulas de todo tipo, calles muy londinenses de casitas bajas aceras anchas y muchas opciones de restaurantes, pasear es agradable, no como conevn garden o Leicester u Oxford que están llenísimas las calles y es un horror

Stayed in a hotel here. Great location for walking around the west end. Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Roas and Leicester Square tubes nearby.

I recently stayed at the Radisson Blu, Mercer Street, which is at the centre of the Seven Dials area of London. The area is well cared for and is full of vibrant individual shops and restaurants. The Seven Dials almost has an independent, village-like atmosphere to it, yet is situated close to Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square and lots of other tourist areas, all within walking distance.

A crazy intersection where 7 streets converge.Each street is worth exploring as each has it's own mix of shops,restaurants and bars.Amazingly it is hidden away just a few blocks from Covent Garden tube station.

Seven Dials is one of my favourite places for relaxing in London - mainly as it's hidden away from tourists. I love the fairy lights and the amazing wine bars and restaurants.

7 dials although still associated with covent garden is nothing of the sort. You wont find loads of tourists walking annoyingly slowly taking pictures of street performers. Instead it is filled with a number of v cool independent shops, bars and restaurants as well as hosting a number of great theatres with Matilda the most standout. Reminds me of a Barcelona back streets where you keep finding really cool shops you weren't expecting. There is also a really good selection of menswear which makes a nice change.

I love this area of London especially if your looking for different and quirky gifts.Lots of different types of restaurants and theatres and a great place to spend a few hours wandering and browsing in little quirky shops

The seven dials is a little maze of streets with small boutique shops specialising in all sorts of everything. from Monmouth coffee to quirky jewellers, movie posters, trendy trainers.

Ho pranzato in questo ristorante assieme alla mia famigilia a Dicembre del 2013. Il ristorante mi era stato prenotato da un amico che vive a Londra, e che me lo ha assolutamente raccomandato in quanto a suo dire unico! Effettivamente questo locale, in Coven Garden, merita di essere assolutamente visitato. Nel 1700 era il convivio di una setta di macellai, che si ritrovavano per parlare delle migliori carni. Ebbene, qui si mangia la migliore carne di Inghilterra! Hanna il taglio di una mucca a corna lunghe, che si alleva solamente a nord, e che ha la caratteristica di una carne con piccole venature di grasso, che nel momento nel qual eviene cucinata, si sciolgono, donanado al taglio scelto una UNICITA' di assoluto valore. Sono toscano e quindi cresciuto con il taglio della chianina, che mi dispisce dirlo, ma non ha niente da recriminare rispetto a questa carne. Inoltre, prima di essere servita, viene cotta in 3 forni differenti a 3 temperature diverse l'una dall'altra. Combinata con un eccellente rosso spagnolo, il risultato è stato quello di comprendere, che il paradiso è davvero a portata di mano!! Per gli amanti della carne, un'appuntamento da non mancare per nessun motivo!. Un pò caro, ma i soldi spesi sono davvero spesi bene!! Il locale è un mix tra tradizionale e modern chic. Prenotazione raccomandata, servizio non eccellente, ma qualità del cibo, SUPERBA!!

What a lovely, clean place. Plenty if things to do, places to go from here. I would definitely go there again and recommend to other people.
