COVENT GARDEN

A walk through the hidden corners of Covent Garden an inspiration for writers from Dickens to Orwell. This is theatreland - Drury Lane the first where women appeared on the stage. Who watched the theatre burn as if sitting by his own fireside? Peep into the actors church which was described as 'the handsomest barn in Christendom'. See where Eliza Doolittle met Professor Higgins. Wonder at The Royal Opera House with its magnificently restored Floral Hall.
