History and style in the heart of London

Even the stoniest of hearts can’t fail to be stirred by the unique experience that is London’s Covent Garden. Once a former monks’ ‘convent garden’, the area rapidly grew to become a base for fruit and vegetable traders, and was dubbed ‘the larder of London’.

Since then, its status as an iconic destination has spread far and wide, with visitors flocking to its stunning Royal Opera House, flagship fashion stores, craft markets, street entertainers and diverse bars, restaurants and cafes. For tourists and locals alike, Covent Garden’s handsome architecture and relaxed atmosphere make it a must-check on any trip to the centre of London.
