Curtains Up! The Most Entertaining Things to Do in Covent Garden

 

Planning a trip to London and wondering how to spend a day soaking up culture, chaos, and charm in equal measure? Let us point you straight to Covent Garden—where opera singers perform in piazzas, magicians entertain the masses, and hidden courtyards lead to unexpected adventures. It’s easily one of the most entertaining neighbourhoods in central London, and it’s right on the doorstep of our City of London serviced apartments.

Whether you’re staying with us near Lovat Lane, St. Paul’s, Liverpool Street, or Tower Hill, Covent Garden is just a quick Tube hop or scenic riverside walk away. It’s the perfect place to spend an afternoon (or a whole day) when you want to swap your laptop for a live show, or trade your meeting notes for magical street theatre and the sounds of a string quartet echoing through the square.

Here’s our round-up of the best things to do in Covent Garden…

Watch the Street Performers in the Piazza

Covent Garden’s open-air stage is the stuff of legend. Jugglers, illusionists, fire breathers, contortionists, classical musicians—you name it, they’ve performed here.

 

Grab a spot on the cobbles, settle in with a coffee, and enjoy the show (or two… or three).
