Covent Garden is a district in London, England, located on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane.
This area is one of the most popular among tourists and is mainly associated with the former fruit and vegetable market located in the central square which is now a popular shopping and tourist site, and the Royal Opera House, which is also known as "Covent Garden".
Covent Garden contains the city's liveliest group of restaurants, pubs, and cafes outside Soho, as well as some of the city's hippest shops.
The restored marketplace here, with its glass and iron roofs, has been called a magnificent example of urban recycling.
