Covent Garden was originally known for its sprawling fruit and vegetable markets, consumable imports and hospitality based businesses. Much of its original charm remains today and you can still find yourself wandering through bustling market spaces, only now the wares are far more varied.
Now one of London's most palatial areas, it has become a favourite among shoppers and tourists. The independent scene here is more refined than most and clearly giving "big business" a run for their money. From top quality eateries, boutique designers and lifestyle brands, Covent Garden has it all and is the place to find something totally unique.
