Description

Essentials about Covent Garden in brief

Strictly speaking, Covent Garden is a district of London on the eastern edge of the so-called West End. Covent Garden was known mainly for its fruit and vegetable market, but it has since moved to another part of the city. Today, the name “Covent Garden” is almost always reduced to the open area with its market halls, which are visited by thousands of locals and tourists every day.

Shopping and eating in Covent Garden

And there’s a good reason for that, because Covent Garden is one of the most popular places for both Londoners and visitors to shop or dine. In Covent Garden and the surrounding streets you can find a colorful mix of stores – from top international brands like Apple, Burberry or Chanel to small, independent countries that often sell high-quality manufactured goods.

And if you get hungry from all the shopping or just want something to eat or drink, you’ll be spoiled for choice in Covent Garden with a variety of different international cuisines. Many Londoners also spend their lunch break here for a quick lunch. Due to its proximity to many theaters, Covent Garden is also a popular place to have a pre-theater drink before performances.
