Covent garden is my most beautiful and enticingly magical part of london with street entertainers, beautiful shops, exquisite architecture and most of all it not only states history in each crevice its whole atmousphere is historic and one almost walks through their own timeline with cobbled streets and lit lanterns.

I was struggling to come up with a topic to reflect my 1,500th review on Dooyoo, after all by the time you get to that number of reviews all the obvious stuff like reviews of Dooyoo or the crown system have probably been done so instead someone suggested doing a search on 1500 and picking from that, well nothing great came up excepet ...  Read the complete review

Not a garden! This square in the heart of London is mercifully traffic free and thus full of foot soldiers from all around the globe doing what everyone does here - strolling around. There are things to amuse you - street entertainers, musicians, a farmers market, bars, restaurants, shops and the weird and wonderful folk themselves who ...  Read the complete review

Covent Garden is easily accesable from the Picadilly Line on London's tube network or by Black-Taxi.

For a ...  Read the complete review
