Covent Garden, located in London's West End, is a vibrant district known for its former fruit-and-vegetable market, now transformed into a popular shopping and tourist destination. Home to the iconic Royal Opera House (which has a beautiful terrace for drinks), Covent Garden boasts a mix of independent shops, street performers, historical buildings, theatres, and entertainment venues like the London Transport Museum. With a rich history dating back to the Anglo-Saxon trading town of Lundenwic, Covent Garden has evolved from fields to a bustling hub of culture, commerce, and creativity, making it a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike.
