Photo Diary: An Afternoon in Seven Dials

When living and working in London, it’s so easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of the daily grind and forget to slow down, pause and appreciate what’s on your doorstep.

London is packed full of interesting neighbourhoods to explore, each with its own distinctive atmosphere and identity. In the West End, sandwiched between Covent Garden and Soho, is Seven Dials. An intriguing network of seven atmospheric streets, Seven Dials is one of my favourite spots in central to wander around, take photos and have a browse.

The London I love isn’t typically found so centrally, but Seven Dials’ beautiful architecture and embrace of independent shops, in my opinion, makes it a charming area.  Comprised of beautiful shop fronts, cosy coffee shops, pubs and boutiques, it’s ideal shopping territory.

On a recent cold February afternoon, I headed down with my new camera to capture this scenic part of London.
