Covent Garden

Covent Garden est regio Londiniensis in parte orientali Finis Occidentalis inter St Martin's Lane et Drury Lane sita, ubi olim erat forum olitorium pomariumque. Nunc est locus celeber mercaturae et periegesis, ubi iacet Theatrum Regium Melodramatis (Royal Opera House, ipsum saepe Covent Garden appellatum). Regio a via magna Long Acre dividitur: ad septentrionem sunt varia negotia privata circa Neal's Yard et Seven Dials, ad meridiem iacet platea media, ubi sunt actores spectaculorum, aedificia elegantia, Theatrum Regium Drury Lane, ac Museum Vecturae Londiniense.

Hic in antiquitate erant campi, in quibus Anglosaxones saeculo VII urbem mercatoriam Lundenvic condiderunt, qui deinde in campos reducti sunt postquam Lundenwic exeunte saeculo IX est relictum. Ante annum 1201 abbati Westmonasterienses partem agrorum munierunt ut in arva pomariaque converterent, "hortus abbatús et conventús" appellata, unde nomen Anglicum. Hortus tempore reformationis Anglicae a Henrico VIII rege captus, anno 1552 comitibus Bedfordiensibus venditus est.

One of my London favorites and never more beautiful than at Christmas time. Filled with unique decorations, a large silver reindeer & an amazing Christmas tree. You can't help but feel jolly & festive

At its best, Covent Garden Market can be a beehive of activity, with up to 3 levels of shops, bars, pubs and restaurants to explore. One of my fav spots is '21', an outdoor pizzeria, & 'Shake Shack'

Never miss this place/market if u intend to visit London. Such a great mix of luxury brands, hand crafted shops, weird shops, and restaurants. There are also lots of entertaining street performers.

This market is so well worth the effort to visit. Every day in the square, there are musicians that play music live for public entertainment. Don't forget to drop a pound or two for these musicians!

When tourists say “Covent Garden” they mean the covered market in the center of the Covent Garden Piazza, but “Covent Garden” actually describes an entire neighborhood, Its my favorite spot in London

You can find yourself getting really wrapped up in the ambience, no matter what the occasion is. Always boasts a number of unique stalls, which suits Londoners and tourists alike
