This tiny enclosed rainbow-hued courtyard is an oasis to escape the shopping and busking frenzy of Covent Garden. There are several places to relax – al fresco in summer – with a cup and plate of whatever does you good. Neal's Yard has subsequently become a brand for several real food/healthy living/alternative-lifestyle shops. Well, they were alternative when they began in the relatively unenlightened 1980s – today they're very much mainstream.
