Seven Dials, London

It is hard to miss Seven Dials even when you are busy exploring Soho area. The area is centred on a junction of seven roads and at the centre of Seven Dials is an intriguing landmark - a tall column fitted with a multifaceted sundial on top. The sundial has 6 faces, each with a gnomon and markings for the hour. The column itself also acts as the seventh gnomon. Since this area was first developed by MP Thomas Neale in late 17th century, the sundial has witnessed the development here from the once-genteeled neighbourhood to one of London's worst slums. Today, it is one of the reputable area in London. Seven Dials has also appeared in the writings of authors such as Charles Dickens and Agatha Christie. #celebratewithtrip #london
