Now the capital's premier entertainment district is the first port of call
for the throngs of tourists, caffeine junkies, health freaks and theatre-goers
pounding Covent Garden’s pavements each day. Self-indulgent shoppers
seek out antique bric-a-brac, kitsch handmade jewellery and designer clobber
while sampling Covent Garden’s copious open-air cafés, restaurants
and market stalls.

Covent Garden is in the borough of Westminster and is loosely
bordered by Charing Cross Road to the west, New Oxford Street to the north,
Kingsway to the east and The Strand to the south.
Covent Garden is fairly traffic-free and despite its mish-mash layout is
easy to navigate. Neal Street, the main drag, is paved for pedestrian’s
making it a safe pleasure to explore, especially in the summer when crowds
can be overwhelming.
Neal Street’s real estate has evolved through the years from the
former 19th century storehouses to today‘s small art galleries, restaurants
and shops trading everything from oriental goods to kites. Neal's Yard,
off Shorts Gardens, is an oasis of health food eateries and natural remedy
stores, and Denmark Street, near St Giles-in-the-Fields, is legendary for
its musical instrument shops.
Nearby areas include:

Transport
Covent Garden tube station can be heavily congested and is best
avoided during weekends, but there are a number of London Underground
stations nearby from which to enter Covent Garden.
The haphazard arrangement of the winding streets, alleyways and courtyards
which make Covent Garden so endearing aren’t designed for London’s
large double-decker and ‘bendy’ buses. Recommended access by
bus or foot is best from the main domains of Shaftsbury Avenue, The Strand,
New Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road, High Holborn and Kingsway.
