Home to theatre
As well as the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet the Covent Garden area is home to more than twenty theatres! One of the largest and most historic is the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, but there are plenty of others, The Aldwych, the Lyceum, Wyndhams and the Garrick to name just a few!
Home to street entertainment
If you aren’t lucky enough to get a ticket for the opera, the ballet or the theatre, then you still stand a chance of catching some great entertainment. Head down to the West Piazza and you can catch any manner of live street performance, from clowns, to mime artists to escapologists! You might even get picked on to participate in the performance. Either way, you won’t go home disappointed, but just make sure you have some loose change for the collection hat that goes around at the end of the performance.
