Seven Dials
Covent Garden is close to Londoners' hearts. Marking the centre of Seven Dials is a six-sided column (believed to be only six sides for the originally planned six streets coming off the road junction) and is where seven streets converge - hence the name Seven Dials. Always buzzing, always filled with action and excitement and never fails to entertain.
Radisson Edwardian Mercer Street is open
The quintessential Covent Garden rendezvous, the newly transformed Radisson Edwardian Mercer Street (formerly the Mountbatten) effortlessly blends with the boutique appeal of its neighbourhood.
A landmark in Seven Dials village, this is a chic retreat on the doorstep of London's most celebrated theatres, its beautifully designed rooms equipped with next-generation technology. Hip as the streets that surround it, with a bar and restaurant alive with locals, this place feels real, relaxed and rooted in its community.
Stay at the at the Radisson Edwardian Mercer Street Hotel from $305 (£195) per room per night. |

Shopping in Covent Garden
Absorb the London lifestyle in and around Covent Garden. Wander Neal Street (don't miss the cheese shop in Neal's Yard) and Floral Street where Paul Smith sets the tone. After a busy morning of shopping visit St Martin-in-the-Fields-London's most loved parish church - a masterpiece by James Gibbs. Refresh your spirit and step inside at lunchtime for a Bach or Mozart recital.
Seven Dials is a seven day shopping and leisure destination offering an unparalleled experience on the door-step of the West End and Soho but far removed from the mayhem of the high street. Seven Dials, Covent Garden's only village, brings you independent boutiques, vintage stores and indulgent beauty and grooming salons. |
