My Seven Dials

Rachel Alderson, store manager at Urban Outfitters on Earlham Street, dishes up her 'Slice of Seven Dials'

June 2010

Favourite places to shop in Seven Dials:
“My favourite place to shop is Tatty Devine, I love that it’s vintage with a modern twist and the party ring necklaces remind me of 80’s birthday parties.  I also love Poste Mistress and find it very hard to walk by that store as I always want all the shoes inside.  Last but not least, I love buying Benefit makeup and enjoy treating myself on pay day!”


Favourite Seven Dials eatery and watering hole:
“My favourite eatery is Food for Thought – I’m not a vegetarian, but if I could cook like that I would be happy to become one.  All the ingredients are so fresh, I see them delivered each morning and the menu is always mouth watering.  My favourite place for drinks is either a cheeky cocktail when I finish late at Pix Bar on Neal Street or a pint after work at the Crown and Anchor as it’s nice to stand outside and bask in the late afternoon sun!”


What makes Seven Dials special for you?
“Having worked on Oxford Street for a couple of years and witnessed that madness, it’s nice to come to the more laidback and vibrant area of Seven Dials.  There are lots of lovely shops and boutiques tucked away to explore, you can get a walk in back rub if you feel stressed after a long day, grab a cheeky cocktail or a go for a more sensible coffee with a friend.  Plus the elephant that has recently taken residence outside my store makes me smile everyday!”
