Covent Garden's Colorful Hidden Gem

Neal's Yard is a small lane in London's Covent Garden between Shorts Gardens and Monmouth Street that opens into a courtyard. It was named after the 17th century builder, Thomas Neale in 1976.

Filled with character, welcome to the most colourful corner of Covent Garden.

Located within Seven Dials, Neal's Yard is home to a collection of independent restaurants, cafes, shops and wellbeing brands you must explore. Known as one of Covent Garden's most instagrammable destinations, find entrances to this not-so-secret gem on both Monmouth Street and Shorts Garden.

The History of Neal's Yard: Taking it's name from businessman Thomas Neale, the previously unloved space was named King's Head Court. Used for storage until 1970's, Nicholas Saunders transformed the area to host his ethical and sustainable business. Soon after, Neal's Yard began to thrive and the original plans to demolish and refurbish the area were put on hold to allow for the Neal's Yard we know and love to blossom.
