	Seven Dials - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seven Dials is a small road junction in the West End of London.
		At one stage, each of the seven apexes facing the column housed a pub, and children were observed to play unsupervised in the streets.
		Today, Seven Dials is a prosperous mainly commercial neighbourhood, on the fringes of the West End theatre district and the fashion-focused shopping district which is centred on nearby Neal Street, and despite some redevelopment, many of the original buildings remain.

	History of Seven Dials
		Thomas Neale devised the characteristic "seven dials" street layout in order to maximise the number of houses that could be built on the site and therefore his profit.
		The names of the seven streets were chosen with the intention of attracting well to do residents, however some of the names have subsequently been simplified or changed because of duplication with other streets in London.
		He noted that children played in the streets together and unsupervised, their parents quite possibly in one of the seven public houses which faced the monument for "it is evident whatever there may be a lack of in the Dials, there is no lack of money for drink".

		In many respects THE SEVEN DIALS MYSTERY is typical of both Christie's "master criminal" novels of the 1920s and popular thriller fiction of the same decade--which is to say extremely improbable from start to finish.
		The significance of the reference in the letter to the "Seven Dials" was confirmed later when she came across Ronny, (one of the guests engaged in the practical joke,) dying of gunshot wound.
		Overlooking that, Seven Dials was a great romantic adventure thriller set in the romantic era of the 20s where young women were gaining confidence in the area of action.

	Seven Dials, England. Travel guide & tourist information by Hostelbookers.com
		West of Neal Street is Seven Dials, the meeting point of seven streets which make up a little circus, centred on a slender column topped by six tiny blue sundials (the seventh dial is formed by the column itself and the surrounding road).
		The column has had a chequered history: erected in 1693, it was torn down in 1773 when a rumour went about that treasure was hidden beneath it; it was re-erected in Weybridge fifty years later, and the replica which now stands in Covent Garden was built in 1989 as a sort of roundabout with seats.
		Earlham Street, which runs from Seven Dials into Charing Cross Road, harbours an old-fashioned ironmonger and a local butcher, and was once a flourishing market street, though only a handful of stalls remain.

	Seven Dials Mystery (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Seven Dials Mystery is one of Dame Agatha Christie's most improbable mysteries, with secret societies and whispers of government secrets and the winds of war — but it was given a first-class adaptation in this Granada Television production, delightfully capturing the "veddy-veddy upper-class" tone of the piece.
		While local police Superintendent Battle (Harry Andrews) investigates the matter as a routine murder, the presence in the dead man's bedroom of seven clocks (or "seven dials") leads the Marquis' plucky daughter, Lady Eileen 'Bundle' Brent (Cheryl Campbell) to suspect there may be something more to it.
		The Seven Dials Mystery is a slightly over-long but generally engaging film with engaging performances by the entire cast, particularly heroine Cheryl Campbell, who many viewers will recognize as a veteran of British television mysteries, and Warwick, best known to American audiences as Tommy Beresford.

		Seven Dials had a typical 'urban fringe' existence in the nineteenth century, being home to agriculture (market gardens), food processing (a range of windmills), industry (brickfields), services (a large open air laundry run by a Mrs Watts...Mr Watts was a coal merchant!) and new housing developments.
		St Michaels Place became a byword for racketeering landlords; Vernon Terrace was used as a DHSS 'holding area'; student bedsit land was established along Montpelier Road; and heavily increased road traffic made the Seven Dials area seven times more polluted.
