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.

The remaining old buildings in this section of Neal Street are handsome large-scale early-19th century industrial survivors from Combe’s Wood Yard Brewery. It is rare to see London commercial buildings of this date, and they are comparable with the few, surviving late-18th/early-19th century warehouses in London’s Docklands.
