Covent Garden, in the heart of London, is world famous and receives millions of international visitors every year. The atmosphere here is like no other, with the market located among trendy shops, great bars and quality restaurants. You'll be entertained as you browse, by talented street performers in the central square and along the major streets in the area.

Covent Garden Market has over 200 stall holders in the Apple Market alone (North Hall), selling a variety of goods, from accessories to antiques, and crafts to clothing. Mondays are dedicated to antiques only and get very popular, so arrive early to get the best bargains. Arts and crafts are on offer for the rest of week. The nearby Jubilee market sells souvenirs, clothes and knick-knacks.

Covent Garden - it's a colourful, vibrant experience that you will want to be part of.
