Tour description

Discover the vibrant heart of London!

Discover Covent Garden: secret passages, worldly flavors, and theatrical charm

On this tour, we'll walk through one of London's most charming and vibrant neighborhoods. But beyond its beautiful shops and lively atmosphere, Covent Garden holds surprising stories: of poets and bar brawls, of markets and transformations, of street art and high opera.

We begin in the alleyways where 17th-century Londoners would already have a pint at the Lamb & Flag—a pub with over 300 years of history and a reputation as the site of clandestine duels and brawls. From there, we'll delve into the heart of the former flower, fruit, and vegetable market, now a vibrant space where street performers and musicians fill the air with energy.

I'll take you to places like Neal's Yard, that brightly colored hideaway that looks like something out of a Wes Anderson film, and we'll explore Seven Dials Market, a foodie haven where global flavors come together in a relaxed, modern atmosphere.

We'll also discuss how Covent Garden went from being a marginal area to becoming a cultural symbol, with gems like the Royal Opera House, which has witnessed the passage of some of the world's most important voices.




We'll end up near a food market. We recommend you grab a bite to eat after the tour so we can recommend the best spots!
