Seven Dials - The Guide (October 2011)

The Guide

Welcome Seven Dials, Covent Garden’s only Village, brings you seven streets of independent boutiques, heritage brands, vintage stores and indulgent beauty and grooming salons, all carefully selected for shoppers of discerning taste.

The Seven Dials village is also home to food and drink from across the globe. From traditional English pubs and bustling cafés to exotic restaurants, five-star brasseries and restaurants, Seven Dials has something to cater for all.

Alongside its stylish residents, Seven Dials boasts a rich and varied heritage; from Dickensian times through to the birthplace of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in Neals Yard.

01 LAURELENE CHAMBOVET

MY SEVEN DIALS: Lolo is the philanthropic manager at The Hospital Club. She is a free spirit that navigates between the commercial world and artists’ lands.

I like to sit on the bench outside Monmouth Coffee (1) watching people passing by while sipping a delicious coffee. Mint (2) have some of the best vintage clothing. Make sure to go downstairs and check their shoes. I also love Vans (3), they’re comfy and never out of trend. I work at The Hospital Club (4), it’s like a big family there. Make sure to check the Creatives in Residence programme, nurturing some of the best talent in London. I stop by The Flower Stall (5) on my way to work to smell their beautiful flowers. The inner space (6) is also the cutest little meditation centre in Covent Garden. I go downstairs to hide away from the world and re-energize.

02 TARYN ROSS

MY SEVEN DIALS: Taryn is founder of urbanjunkies.com, the free newsletter and website for arts, fashion, lifestyle, bars and restaurants, entertainment and design in London.

Kidrobot (1) is one of the only stores that I like to visit that makes me feel like a kid again. Although I admit I’ve never actually bought anything from Coco De Mer (2) yet, one day I will own a piece of Bordelle lingerie; if only to wear around the house.

I love a cheeky night at the Covent Garden Hotel (3) opposite, it feels so luxurious and personal. ‘Tempura spicy dahl inari pocket on caramelised coconut with fried plantain and pickled green papaya’ at Kopapa (4)? Yes please. Pix (5) is also great for afternoon tapas with Rosé Cava. L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon (6) is the sexiest bar in London, and my top pick for a hot date spot. But for a late dinner The Ivy (7) always has comfort food that hits the spot, and the people watching isn’t bad either.

03 BRENDAN MURDOCK

MY SEVEN DIALS: Brendan, founder of Murdock, lives in Shoreditch and works in Seven Dials, Covent Garden at their head offices and store on Monmouth Street.

My favourite place has to be Monmouth Coffee Company (1), it’s the best in London and the perfect way to start the day before I open up Murdock (2). The Covent Garden Hotel (3) is cosy and Brasserie Max (4) serves good wines. It’s a pleasure to watch the world go by from their outside tables right on Monmouth Street. Neal’s Yard Dairy (5) is the best for cheeses from around the British Isles. I always stop there on a Friday afternoon for supplies if I’m entertaining at the weekend. Orla Kiely (6) has a fantastic selection of gifts and accessories and I often treat my mum and sisters to something from their bright collection. Donmar Warehouse (7), is without doubt, the most exciting theatre in London. It’s a really intimate venue with superb stars treading the boards.

Covent Garden Hotel (1) to my mind one of the nicest hotels in London. Adidas Originals (2) is one of my long-term favourites, because I haven’t managed to grow up and wear proper shoes yet. Kopapa (3) is an awesome recent addition to the area and a great places for meeting friends. Neals Yard Dairy (4) is cheese heaven for me. For 21st century grooming I always go to Murdock (5). Coco de Mer (6), opposite, is my reminder of life before children.

MY SEVEN DIALS: Marc is a film director at Smithereen, an independent production company based in Soho.

Pop Boutique (1) is one of my old favourites – a great place to pick up an original vintage find. I always love a classic and the Filofax (2) shop helps me stay organised, not an easy task! Neals Yard Dairy (3) is heaven for a cheese man like me. Size? (4) has always been a stronghold for great footwear and who can resist spending an hour or two getting lost in the music at Fopp (5). Love the ‘beat the clock’ at Belgo’s (6), who doesn’t love a Belgian beer?

After all the shopping, eating and drinking, step over to chic retreat the recently renovated Mercer Street Hotel, overlooking the area’s famous landmark – the Seven Dials Monument, or indulge in a five-star night’s sleep at the sophisticated and stylish Covent Garden Hotel, both situated in the heart of Seven Dials.
