One of London's liveliest and tourist friendly areas, Covent Garden can be found between Shaftesbury Avenue and the Strand. Covent Garden used to be a market supplying fruit and vegetables to Westminster Abbey and was the largest wholesaler market of it's kind at the time. Covent Garden now is a popular place both during the day and in the evenings with it's piazza and large pedestrian area. The former market buildings now house many different shops, restaurants, street cafes and a small market with stalls selling jewellery, bags and all manner of bric-a-brac. Covent Garden is a place where Londoners enjoy to relax especially during the summer months and is a place where visitors can mingle with locals and simply a great area to wander round. With its cobbled side streets, Covent Garden has fine cuisine, trendy cafes and, of course, it's famous street theatre. For those with families, on a fine day, Covent Garden is great too. The children can be entertained by the street entertainers that perform under the porch of the Actors Church and buskers playing all different styles of music.
