Neal's Yard
About

Tucked away in a vibrant corner of Covent Garden, Neal's Yard is a delightful explosion of color and independent spirit. This small, pedestrianized courtyard feels like stepping into a hidden oasis, a stark contrast to the bustling streets surrounding it. Its brightly painted buildings in hues of turquoise, indigo, and ochre house an eclectic mix of artisan shops, natural health and beauty retailers, and cozy cafes. Originally a derelict space, it was transformed in the 1970s by a passionate advocate for natural living, creating a unique community focused on sustainability and well-being. Today, Neal's Yard offers a charming escape, a place to discover unique finds, enjoy a healthy bite, and soak in its distinctly bohemian atmosphere.
