The traditional home of the English capital’s wholesale fruit and vegetable market, the historic London district of Covent Garden lies just beyond the bustling West End’s central shopping streets. Bounded by Long Acre, St Martin’s Lane and Drury Lane, it’s one of London’s liveliest districts, packed with world-class street artists and performers every day of the week. The boutique-filled Italianate central piazza, designed by Inigo Jones in the early 17th century, is lined with historic terraced houses, while the magnificent Royal Opera House and Inigo Jones’ Church of St Paul add to the area’s many attractions. **Don't miss** - Traditional Covent Garden pubs, The Royal Opera House, Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Piazza and Central Market.
