My Fair London - Covent Garden

image

Soooooo glad it is Friday! It has definitely been one of THOSE weeks! Let’s close the week by checking out another of my favourite spots in London – Covent Garden! This is my go-to place for shopping, theatre and people-watching. It gets so bustling with eager tourists and harassed Londoners on the weekend that they actually close the tube station and make it exit only! Apart from the fabulous stores in the old market buildings, there are some of London’s best street performers and traditional English pubs. Have a good weekend all!

    Covent Garden was wonderful! I got a really beautiful handmade ring there for our anniversary last year. Such a fun place to explore!

    I'm sitting at home wishing I had the energy to go to Covent garden for ice cream. I never knew it was there but with this good weather I'm going to have to go. Great blog - I came over from Elements of Style.
