Wind your way through back streets to Covent Garden, a
bustling, thriving, colourful melting pot of entertainment,
shopping, eating, drinking, music and theatre set around
a grand Italian style piazza. The market is in the heart of
theatre land, however there is as much entertainment to
be found in the market as in these theatres; jugglers, mime
artists, clowns, are just some the acts on display through the
night and day. There is also a huge amount of bars, cafés and
restaurants in and around the market which fill out onto the
street when the London weather allows and provide great
pre-show dinner offers.
