The area around Seven Dials has a rich history, evident in its old maps, but the current Cucumber Alley is a modern creation from the 1990s.
Originally named Mairmaid Alley in the 17th century, the current Cucumber Alley is a modern replica designed to blend smoothly with the historic atmosphere of the area.
The transformation from residential housing to warehouses in the 18th century was largely driven by the needs of the expanding Covent Garden market, showcasing the dynamic evolution of London.
Despite appearing as a quaint Victorian passage, Cucumber Alley is primarily a 1992 redevelopment that aimed to replicate the traditional design popular during that era.
