Covent Garden
Covent Garden is a great place to stay if you are visiting London. It is right in the heart of the West End with excellent shopping and restaurants, and with the added bonus of museums, theatres, the opera and the ballet all right on your doorstep! The main Piazza and the covered Apple Market area is car-free with open air cafes and restaurants, sitting alongside stalls selling individual crafts, which gives the place a unique vibe.
Home to the Royal Opera House
Constructed as a playhouse back in 1732 and suffering two fires and a number of reconstructions, the iconic theatre in Covent Garden became home to the Royal Opera House in 1945, and to the Royal Ballet the following year.
