In the midst of the busy London resides a lovely musical place called Covent Garden. All the colors of London you can find here. There are roadshows, magic shows, artistry, all around the place. Music played by the enthusiatics sets a complete romantic mood! There is a small market indoors that serves as a galleria to new talents! The shops... more

If you have been to Quincy Market in Boston, South Street Sea Port in NYC, Navy Pier in Chicago or Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco you have seen Covent Garden. It has the obligatory street performers and overpriced restaurants as you would expect. But it has its charm too.If you like people watching, relaxing and enjoying the standard sites it... more

There is so much going on here that you can spend a lot of tme just taking it all in. There are lots of street entertainers and buskers some are exceptionally good, others are OK. The Piazza is great to sit or look over the railings at the variety of classical performers, some of whom are really good, however you... more

The lure of Covent Garden is pretty lost on me I’m afraid.. It is a nice enough place with some interesting (albeit overpriced) shoppes, your standard fare jugglers and street performers and a few good restaurants. With all of the wonderful sights, fantastic eateries and dynamic shopping in this city though, why am I stopping here? It is fine if... more

I have spent 10 days in and around Covent Garden and it's just wonderful! The ares is very touristy and is the best area I've seen in London for shopping outside of Oxford Street. There are nice little restaurants, pubs on every street corner and it's just full of people so sometimes some interesting street performers come out. more

All add a great atmosphere to this lovely area of London. The markets are great, which some lovely stalls offering unique gifts. There are also indoor shops, some high street names and some... more

I dont live too far from london and of course C G is very touristy.but it doesnt stop me. but there's more to it than just the (not very interesting) piazza area..the shopping is great..hard to find stores or unique like Space NK, Apple Tree, Maharishi,Pout(best beauty store ever!), just use your legs and discover for yourself! Neal St is... more

Most people think Covent Garden just consits of the piazza but it's not true. Covent Garden is the name of the area and it's old streets. It's worth visiting Neal's Yard, Monmouth Street, and Neal Street. These three locations have some really nice inderpendent shops and cafes. more

It's rubbish! There are some street entertainers to keep the kids amused for...oh...5 minutes? And a few market stalls. not as many as I had been expecting and all extremely overpriced for cheap rubbish. Nice resturants round about but that's about it. Waste of time. more
