Covent Garden
Link to Wikipedia's information
Covent Garden dates back to the Roman era and used to be a fruit and vegetable market that over the years transformed in a "red light district" featuring bistros, bordellos, and other forms of entertainment. In the heart of London it has since become a popular tourist site, featuring the Royal Opera House, the Theatre Royal, street performers, and a host of shops. It has a rich and varied history.
