Once the "Convent Garden" of Westminster Abbey, Covent Garden grew into a bustling market in the 17th century and later became a hub for theatre, street performance, and luxury retail. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it thrived as London’s cultural heart, drawing artists, merchants, and intellectuals. After periods of decline, it was revitalised in the late 20th century, transforming its historic market halls into a lively shopping and dining destination. Today, Covent Garden blends heritage architecture with world-class brands, restaurants, and a vibrant atmosphere, cementing its status as a London icon.
