Jacob the Angel & Neal's Yard

Just a short stroll from The Bloomsbury is Seven Dials in Covent Garden. Take the time to wander and explore the seven interconnecting streets with over 90 fashion, beauty and lifestyle stores as well as over 40 independent restaurants, cafes and bars.

Stop for a coffee and recharge at Jacob the Angel, an English coffee house specialising in quality coffee, sweet treats and freshly baked pastries. Named after Jacob, the man who opened the first coffee house at The Angel Inn, Oxford, England, 1651.

As you wander through the streets, make your way to Neals Yard, situated between Shorts Gardens and Monmouth Street which leads onto one of london’s prettiest courtyard. Named after the 17th century developer of the area, Thomas Neale, it is now home to several health food stores and restaurants as well as Neals Yard Apothecary and Neals Yard Bakery. Do stop into Neals Yard Dairy and marvel at the incredible range of cheese!
