Neal's Yard is a small alley in London's Covent Garden between Shorts Gardens and Monmouth Street which opens into a courtyard. It is named after the 17th century developer, Thomas Neale.[1]

In 1976, Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam bought offices at 11 Neal's Yard,[2] and alternative activist and entrepreneur Nicholas Saunders established the bulk Whole Food Warehouse; he had bought 2 Neal's Yard, a derelict warehouse previously used by the former Covent Garden fruit and vegetable market, for £7,000 a few years earlier. From this success, grew other enterprises in other buildings such as Neal's Yard Apothecary (now known as Neal's Yard Remedies), Neal's Yard Bakery,[3][4][5] Monmouth Coffee Company and Neal's Yard Dairy,[6]

The area now contains several other health-food cafes and retailers.[7][8]
