Covent Garden
The heart of the West End, built around the old market piazza.
Covent Garden is the heart of London's West End, built around the old covered market and its piazza. Within a few minutes' walk are the Royal Opera House, the London Transport Museum, Seven Dials and Neal's Yard, along with some of the city's best-known theatres and restaurants.
Covent Garden station (Piccadilly line) is at its centre, with Leicester Square and Holborn close by. Homes here are mostly apartments, in period buildings and in conversions above shops; houses are rare. It suits buyers and tenants who want to live right in the centre of London.
