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.

Every ballet I have seen here has been spectacular - Swan lake, The Nut Cracker, The Sleeping Beauty... anything you choose to see will be an extraordinary experience ✨✨✨

Absolutely amazing venue with world class stars and performances! But don’t get lost wandering around, the place is huge with many staircases lifts and passageways

Must-visit for any trip to London. Come to the box office at 10am on the day of a (sold-out) performance to try to score one of the 67 same-day tix. Savour the beauty with a drink on the terrace

Mariinsky's Swan Lake was wonderful. If you want to avoid the interval crowds and queues (and can afford some extra expense) book a table in advance at one of the Opera restaurants - it was worth it!

Great seating on the upper terrace level, especially if you want to enjoy a takeaway dinner pre show; enjoy the views of Covent Garden and listen to the buskers below.

Beautiful building and the productions vary depending on Director and Stage Manager. Worth visiting the Terrace Balcony where you can have a Bird's Eye View of Covent Garden and London Landscape
