History

Neal Street (without an ‘e’) commemorates Thomas Neale, MP, the original developer of Seven Dials. Until 1877 it was called King Street or Cross Lane. The present numbering of the buildings was assigned in 1908. It marks the eastern boundary of Marshland Close and today defines part of the eastern edge of the Seven Dials Conservation Area.

In this section some of the scale and character, as well as several of the original, late-17th or early-18th century, three-storey houses survive.

The tree clusters whilst not part of the original layout, are less likely to obscure all the facades, yet provide shade in the Summer and rows of trees are not suitable for this unusual 17c/18c townscape.
