The heart of the West End, Covent Garden is an ever-popular attraction for tourists and food lovers alike. What was once a small open-air fruit and vegetable market some centuries ago is now a destination for shopping, theatre, and some fantastic dining.

At the heart of the area you’ll find the piazza and iconic market building, where street performers take to their outdoor stage, and which is bound by a number of luxury boutiques. Nearby Seven Dials Market offers top tier street food, while Neal’s Yard is an oasis in the centre of London - the perfect place to grab a snack and catch your breath.

Covent Garden is a paradise for theatre lovers. Sitting at the heart of London’s Theatreland, the area is home to some of the capital’s most famous venues, including the Royal Opera House, where you can catch world-class ballet and opera performances, while nearby theatres like the Lyceum and Theatre Royal Drury Lane host West End hits.
