Covent Garden

About Covent Garden
Covent Garden is a major tourist attraction that centres upon the piazza which was originally designed by Inigo Jones in the 1630s. Surrounding the market are hundreds of shops, bars and restaurants which make the area buzz with vitality. Dominating a large part of the market place is the famous Royal Opera House which stages world class operatic and ballet performances and is home to the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet Companies. The London Coliseum is also just down the road on St. Martin's Lane; this houses the equally impressive English National Opera and English National Ballet. The Theatre Royal on Drury Lane is an immense edifice and has the largest theatre auditorium in London. First built in 1663 the site is the oldest in the world to have been continually in use as a theatre.
