Seven Dials Covent Garden is a unique quarter of London whose star-shaped layout remains as constructed in the early 1690s. It was brought back to life largely through the dedication of the Seven Dials Trust, working in partnership with the local authorities and landowners for nearly forty years.

The award was presented by Rowan Moore (architecture critic of The Observer who was named Critic of the Year at the UK press awards 2014) at the London Forum of Amenity & Civic Societies’ AGM in November 2015.
