Covent Garden is perhaps with certain people synonymous with London. It is inarguably one of the most visited and loved places of London.
It boasts of great shopping, great food, great pubs, great clubs and great location. It is just minutes walk from wherever you may choose to visit after having seen Covent Garden. Other places that are within walking distance from Covent Garden include Leceister Square, Picadilly Circus, The Strand, Tottenham Court Road, Bond Street perhaps and of course, Soho. Any wrong turn you take may just lead you to any one of those above mentioned places, which is actually quite pleasant. Getting lost in Covent Gardens or around it is quite a positive experience.
Choose your entertainment from pure shopping either at the Jubilee Market or Covent Garden Market or from top designer brand names just close by. Walk through side stalls and take your pick of merchandise from fashion to souvenirs. Food is not a problem at all. Pontis near the Covent Garden tube station sells great snacks, and has excellent chocolate chip cookies. Also, cool places to chill out whether for an afternoon cuppa or wild night out include places like Henry's and The Gardening Club.
Don't forget to bring your umbrella though - the weather in London is just petulant!
