Covent Garden
An area just north and east of Charing Cross station. Very popular with tourists.
The craft markets in the piazza and the nearby Jubilee Market are worth a trip, is the London Transport Museum with its fine collection of old buses and tube trains.
Getting to Covent Garden
Covent Garden tube station is how most people arrive in the area – so it gets busy. It’s on the Piccadilly line.
Other tube stations are close by – Leicester Square (Piccadilly, Northern Lines) and Charing Cross (Northern, Bakerloo Lines).
