Dudley Court itself is a secure and well-managed purpose built block, constructed in early 1960's and benefitting from lift access to all floors and a peaceful oasis for residents to enjoy. Endell Street, steeped in history, traces back to the 17th century when the surrounding area was part of the former monastic lands of St. Giles. Later, the land the building sits on, became home to the pioneering Endell Street Military Hospital established in May 1915 in a former workhouse. It treated over 26,000 wounded soldiers during the First World War and was the only hospital run entirely by women.

Seven Dials and the surrounding area was developed in the early 1690's by mp Thomas Neale. His original vision was to compete with the already established Covent Garden to attract affluent residents. However, by the early 1900's much of the area was repurposed as warehousing for fruit and vegetables supplied to nearby Covent Garden Market, with many of the buildings designed in the attractive Dutch style and remaining to this day.

Nowadays, Seven Dials has much more of a village feel closer to Neale's original vision. An eclectic mix of cobbled streets, historic architecture, the buzzy enclave of Neal's Yard, theatres such as the Donmar Warehouse, Seven Dial's Market with its independent street food vendors, numerous coffee shops and the iconic sundial give the area a unique atmosphere making it a destination for food lovers and fashionistas from across the Capital.
