By Dean Johnson


Londoners looking for the culture of the Royal Opera and the convenience of the market piazza will enjoy Covent Garden. Whether you are a tenant looking for a chic area to live or a professional and business owner looking for just the right location, Covent Garden will suit you. There are many spaces and locations available in a variety of sizes to suit a renter or property owner's needs. Covent Garden property is reasonably priced like Soho, yet you get the amenities of the upscale areas such as Mayfair and you are conveniently located close to London's many west end theatres.

Seven Dials is not just a shoppers delight within the Covent Garden district of London, it is a thriving sub district that is easily assessable by taxi, tube, plane, and train. Tourists and residents enjoy the trendy shops and night life afforded the area. Business owners reap the benefits of having a location which will generate healthy revenue yearly. The area is flooded with millions of tourists each year. Properties and flats are still available for the city dweller or entrepreneur.

Within the West End London District of Covent Garden you will find the area where seven streets meet. The original road design was to maximize the amount of structures that could be fitted in this area. In the centre of the designed lies the Seven Dials Sundial. The six faced sundial represents the original six road plan. The column could be considered the seventh road. The original structure was taken down and moved to another part of the city called Weybridge on the Green. It was purchased in honour of the Prussian Princess Frederica Charlotte in 1773.

Even though the center where the roads emerge is actually Seven Dials, residents refer to the entire area as Seven Dials. The property is highly sought after since the entire area is just a short walk. The choice offerings should not be passed up considering what you get for your money between Shaftesbury Avenue, Shelton Street, West Street and Endell Street.

Shoppers can enjoy the busy retail area, and retailers, compete for this prime location. Though business people may not want to shop at their midday break, if they have a commercial establishment in the area, they will reap the benefits of hungry shoppers.

Businesspeople can entertain their clients in true British style. There are many celebrated French restaurants in London. The theatre productions are always a favourite. International clients will get a taste of British hospitality.

The Covent Garden tube or buses connect easily to Seven Dials so that if your friends or clients come to visit you they will find the area without too many directions.

Covent Garden is pleased to be celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. There will be flags flying high everywhere, prestigious hotels will create traditional meals and even ice cream parlours are whipping up something special. There will also be street entertainment throughout and much more.
