Covent Garden is a historic market district built around a restored 19th-century piazza filled with boutiques, craft stalls and street performers. Watch the buskers under the glass roof, browse the Apple Market, and catch a show at the Royal Opera House next door. It is one of the most tourist-heavy corners of London, so prices and crowds run high.
