A specific feature is the Seven Dials junction, where seven streets converge at a column topped with sundials. The ward contains the bustling Covent Garden market area and the quiet, garden-lined squares of Mayfair. Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus anchor its eastern side, marked by constant pedestrian flow and large electronic advertisements.
