Covent Garden
Because I want to be surrounded by high culture.
You’ll love this...
In Covent Garden you’ll be living in a Culture Happening.
It’s home to theatres, opera houses, and a great selection of specialist and designer shops.
In the square right by the Tube Station, you can browse food stalls and watch some of the city’s best street performers.
But you won’t love this...
Covent Garden is on The Tourist To-Do List. So you’ll need to share. FYI: 15 million people overseas visitors visit London every year. Ca-razy.
How do I get Around
Covent Garden is very walkable and best explored on foot.
If you’re going further afield, the Piccadilly line of the Underground passes through.
You also have Tottenham Court Road (Central and Northern Line) and Temple (District and Circle) right around the corner.
Will I like it here?...
Well, tell us if this sounds like a good Saturday:
Wake up after a great night’s sleep in peaceful Covent Garden.
Take a stroll down to Avobar (London’s only all-avocado restaurant) for a healthy breakfast, before buying something stylish at a designer booth.
Meet your friends at Tuttons for a sophisticated take on traditional British food. During the warmer months you can sit on their terrace, which overlooks the square.
Catch a classic at the Royal Opera House, which is just one of the many excellent theatres in your neighbourhood.
Finish things off with cocktails at The Escapologist.
Really? Tell me more...
You’ll find the immensely popular Battersea Pie Station here too. This is the definition of cheap and cheerful, and according to this Google review:
‘‘Their pies are just delicious!’’
I’m still not convinced...
Should you grow tired of all the awesomeness above, Covent Garden is within walking distance of famous spots like Soho, Oxford Circus, and Westminster.
