Covent Garden was originally Convent Garden, an area set aside for the monks at the nearby Abbey of St. Peter (now Westminster Abbey) to grow fruit and vegetables.

Throughout the centuries it has had multiple incarnations: a public fruit and vegetable market; a residential area for affluent 16th century Londoners; a red-light district; a flower market; and the home of London’s West End theatre district.

Today, Covent Garden is dominated by a beautiful piazza, designed by architect Charles Fowler in the 1830s.

Within this piazza are a myriad of shops, restaurants, and a pitch for opera singers and musicians.

Surrounding the piazza are the iconic cobbled streets of Covent Garden, home to markets, museums, theatres, street performers, restaurants, bars, and shopping.

Covent Garden is right in the heart of London’s West End, meaning this location has more theatres than any other part of the city, as well as playing host to London’s Covent Garden Opera House.

Neal's Yard is a small and beautiful enclave of independent shops and eateries just off of Seven Dials.
