Covent Garden Life

By Dean Johnson


Renters and property owners looking for a fantastic location to live, work, or collect rental income can do well to consider the Covent Garden community in London. The area is renowned for its live entertainment, street performers, restaurant, opera house and the glass roofed market which is visited by millions of people annually. Though you might think this location would be pricey, its properties are similar in value to Soho. They advantage is that property owners and residents will enjoy the benefits of the posh Mayfair area without having to pay the higher rates.

The Seven Dials retail and shopping centre of Covent Garden is ideal for residents and business professionals alike who want the convenience of commuting cross city with ease or simply enjoy the local flair of Covent Garden. The opportunities for running a successful business, renting office space or living in the hustle and bustle of just seven streets is compelling.

Seven Dials is a road conjunction where seven roads converge. At the center of the road conjunction is the Seven Dials sundial pillar. The pillar has six sundials to commemorate what was believed to be the first street plans for the district. It was believed that only six roads were to be included in the original village plan and therefore the reason for the six faces on the dial. The original monument stood at the base of the converging streets, but was taken down and relocated to Weybridge to honour the daughter of King Frederick William II of Prussia.

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.

This shopping village boasts several top-notch eateries, bars and elegant boutiques. The area is a major income source for retailers. Though business people may not shop during business hours they can sell their wares to millions of visitors each year.

Businesspeople often entertain local or international clients. These clients will be basking in the British culture when they come to Seven Dials and Covent Garden. A favourite eatery shared by several business people is the one of the exquisite French restaurants. Clients will enjoy an evening out at the theatre or Royal Opera.

Directions to the area are simple. The Seven Dials sub district of Covent Garden is just minutes away from the Covent Garden tube or bus lines. The locals will also help with directions if necessary.

Clients are in for a great surprise when they come in time for Queen Elizabeth's diamond jubilee. Everyone from ice cream vendors to grand hotels will be offering their specialties for the occasion. Special entertainment has been planned for this historic occasion as well.
