London Shopping

No visit to London is complete without a visit to Covent Garden, a most atmospheric London institution.

In addition to an arts and crafts market, outdoor street performers who would do the Royal Albert Hall proud, perform on the sidewalks for free (Well there is always a hat passed around at the end!)

London Covent Garden's restaurants, bars, shops and street entertainers make it the ideal location for a great day or night out. The London Covent Garden is world famous for its jugglers, musicians and mime artists.

In the Arts and Crafts Market hall, you will find you will find 120 craftsmen selling their original handmade Arts and Crafts, Ceramics, Knit-wear, Pottery, Silk Screen Printing, Etching, Chinese Art, Hand Painted House Plaques & House Signs, Heraldry, Coats of Arms, Hand Painted Crests & Shields,  Board Games, Enameling, Jewellery, Wooden Toys, Goldsmiths, Doll Houses, Silversmiths, Glassware, Hobo Dolls, Calligraphy, Lace-ware, Mohair Sweaters, Cardigans and Coats, Soft Toys and Dolls, Luxury Bathrobes, Wood Turning, Karum game boards and lots more.

When tourists check into a hotel, many often ask for London map and two locations: the hotel's and Covent Garden's. It is easy to understand why - it is one of the most popular areas not only to shop, dine, but also one of the most favourite place to 'go out'. Entertainment varies from the street entertainment and the long-standing tradition of the Punch and Judy show to performances at the world famous Royal Opera House. The range of restaurants is great - from cheap take aways to fancy dinners - London Covent Garden is a popular choice among Londoners and visitors.
