A shopping and entertainment hub in London’s West End, Covent Garden centres on the elegant, car-free Piazza, home to fashion stores, craft stalls at the Apple Market, and the Royal Opera House. Street entertainers perform by 17th-century St. Paul’s Church, and the London Transport Museum houses vintage vehicles. Upscale restaurants serve European cuisines, and nearby theatres draw crowds for plays and musicals.

Walking Tours: History & Traditions Of Christmas In London (Video)
Merry Christmas! Joolz takes a walk around the Christmas locations in London and talks all about the traditions that make Christmas here in London without letting lockdowns dampen our spirits. There’s Charles Dickens and A Christmas Carol of course and we see the beautiful Christmas decorations and window displays at Fortnum and Mason, Covent Garden, Selfridges and more. Why we have a Christmas tree, what’s in mince pies, Christmas cards, Christmas crackers and the grinch who banned Christmas!! All the while the ghost of Christmas past is trying to stop Ebeneezer Joolz turning into an old Scrooge. Thanks to The Albert (Primrose Hill) and The Haverstock Tavern for the meal!
