Covent Garden is one of the most touristic places in the capital, lively day and night. Everything is organised around the covered market, where stands, shops and cafés mix. The name "Covent Garden" comes from a former garden that belonged to Westminster Abbey. The site was used as a fruit and vegetable market for as long as it was before the Earl of Bedford had halls built by architect Inigo Jones. It was "thanks" to the 1666 fire, when other markets were destroyed, that the place became the largest market in the country.

Très beau "marché/Halles" couverte. Les restaurants sont plutôt touristiques et pas forcément d'un bon rapport qualité/prix. Les boutiques en revanche sont assez sympa et variées.

Petit centre commercial à l'architecture et l'ambiance atypique avec ses belles terrasses de café et restaurants. Un petit marché chic en plein cœur du quartier des théâtres.

Un quartier très animé avec plein de petites boutiques et entouré d'un marché très pittoresque. La balade est très agréable mais beaucoup de monde...

Mention spéciale à la boutique Lush, où quelques démonstrations se passent en sous-sol, sous les voutes.
