Covent Garden Market London History, Facts and Figures
Covent Garden is a district in London on the eastern fringes of the West End, between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane. It is associated with the former fruit-and-vegetable market in the central square, now a popular shopping and tourist site, and with the Royal Opera House, which is also known as Covent Garden. The district is divided by the main thoroughfare of Long Acre, north of which is given over to independent shops centred on Neal's Yard and Seven Dials, while the south contains the central square with its street performers and most of the elegant buildings, theatres and entertainment facilities, including the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane and the London Transport Museum.

50 Things to do in London Travel Guide | Top Attractions London City Guide Transcript:
So Hello from London! Time for a new destination. This is a city that I haven't visited in almost 4 years. So we're both very excited to be in London. And we're going to be making a little video guide. Actually a really big video guide because we plan on showing you 50 different things to do around London.
Our first stop was Trafalgar Square. This square leads to a lot of central attractions, so it's a nice place to people watch, get your bearings, and plan out where you want to go in the city.
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the Thames. It offers a bird's eye view of the city.
Buckingham Palace has served as the official London residence for Britain's sovereigns since 1837. The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace are open to visitors every year.
The Palace of Westminster, also known as the Houses of Parliament, is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The Palace along with Big Ben are two of the top London attractions that dot the city-scape.
The Tower of London sits on the north bank of the River Thames.
And that's a wrap for London! Like with any mega city, it's impossible to cover all the sights and attractions you can enjoy here, but hopefully this video will give you an idea of what London has to offer.
This is part of our Travel in England series showcasing English culture, English foods, English cuisine and English people.

Visite Guidée en Vidéo de Londres: La City
Dans cette visite vidéo, David Hill de New York Habitat ( explore le principal quartier des affaires de Londres, aussi appelé la City! La City est l'un des plus vieux quartiers de la capitale puisqu'il se situe là où Londres a été fondée il y a presque 2000 ans. La taille de la City est en gros ce qu'elle était jusqu'au début de la Révolution industrielle au 18ème siècle. Aussi connu sous le nom de « Square Mile », la City, de nos jours, est bordée par la Tamise au sud, Chancery Lane à l'ouest, Chaterhouse Street au nord, et la Tour de Londres à l'est. Bien que les portes de la City aient disparues depuis longtemps, vous pouvez toujours reconnaitre leurs emplacements grâce au nom des rues. Joignez-vous à nous lors de cette visité filmée pendant que nous découvrirons la Tour de Londres, Leadenhall Market, le quartier des affaires de la City, la cathédrale St. Paul et plus encore !
La Tour de Londres
A l'est de la City se trouve la Tour de Londres au bord de la Tamise. La tour a été construite en 1066, et cet imposant bâtiment renvoie encore à l'image de son turbulent passé. Depuis sa création, la Tour a servi de forteresse, de prison d'état, mais aussi de lieu d'exécution.
Leadenhall Market dans la City
Leadenhall Market sur Gracechurch Street date du 14ème siècle, et est l'un des plus anciens marchés de Londres. S'il s'agissait autrefois d'un marché de viande, de gibier, et de volaille, ce marché couvert a été redessiné en 1881 par Sir Horace Jones, qui a créé un toit avec une magnifique structure. Celle-ci, alliée aux allées pavées et aux très belles décorations, ont fait de ce site une attraction touristique populaire. Quand vous vous baladerez dans ce marché, n'oubliez pas de regarder en l'air : On peut toujours voir les crochets aux murs qui servaient à exposer les produits frais à l'époque victorienne.
Londres & la Tamise
La Tamise coule au sud de la City et passe à travers le centre du Greater London. La Tamise tenait à l'époque un rôle vital dans l'économie londonienne. Bien que ce ne soit plus le cas aujourd'hui, ce fleuve reste une composante essentielle de la City. Depuis l'eau, vous pourrez voir de nombreuses attractions célèbres de Londres, comme la Tour de Londres, le Tower Bridge, Le London Eye, Big Ben, la Palais de Westminster et bien d'autres !
Le quartier des affaires de la City
La City de Londres est l'un des quartiers d'affaires les plus importants du monde. Vous trouverez les bureaux de plus de 500 banques à la Bank of England dans la City. Employés pour la plupart dans le secteur financier, plus de 300 000 salariés travaillent dans le quartier de la City. Comme il s'agit du centre juridique et financier le plus en vue de Londres, beaucoup de gens visitent la City en voyage d'affaires.
Séjournez dans un appartement dans la City
Que vous soyez à la City pour affaires ou pour le plaisir, vous pouvez vous détendre après une longue journée et rentrer le soir dans une confortable location de vacances de la City. ( NY Habitat propose dans le quartier des locations saisonnières meublées avec ou sans services hôteliers, qui vous permettront de profiter de votre séjour dans la City comme un vrai résident. Prenez par exemple cet appartement T2 dans la City: qui se situe à quelques minutes seulement de la Tour de Londres.
Allez sur pour découvrir toute notre sélection d'appartements à Londres.
La Cathédrale St. Paul
La cathédrale St. Paul actuelle, qui se trouve sur les cendres de l'ancienne cathédrale St. Paul, a également été dessinée par Sir Christopher Wren, et est devenue l'un des monuments les plus célèbres de Londres. Il y repose quelques-unes des plus grandes figures de l'Angleterre, comme Winston Churchill, Lord Nelson, et le Duc de Wellington.
L'architecture moderne dans la City
En plus de ses nombreux monuments célèbres et anciens bâtiments historiques, la City of London abrite également quelques-uns des immeubles contemporains les plus innovants, comme le Lloyd's Building, la Heron Tower et le Gherkin Building. La City allie tous les bons côtés de l'ancien avec toute l'innovation du moderne. C'est vraiment un endroit à voir !
Nous espérons que vous avez apprécié cette visite de la City! Rendez vous sur notre blog pour plus d'informations sur ce quartier. Et si nous avons omis l'un de vos endroits préférés de la City, faites-le nous savoir dans les commentaires ci-dessous !

Visite Guidée en Vidéo de Londres: The West End
Description de la vidéo You Tube du West End
Dans cette visite guidée, David Hill de New York Habitat ( vous invite à découvrir le quartier animé du West End à Londres !
Lors de cette visite, nous nous arrêterons à Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street, Covent Garden, Soho et bien d'autres endroits encore. Tous font partie du quartier prospère du West End à Londres, l'endroit où aller pour se divertir, voir un spectacle et faire du shopping ! Le quartier s'étend, à peu de chose près, de Charing Cross à l'est à Hyde Park à l'ouest, et des rives de la Tamise au sud jusqu'à Euston Road, au nord.
Covent Garden
Notre visite débute au marché de Covent Garden: à l'origine un jardin de fruits et légumes, cet endroit s'est transformé en un célèbre marché de fruits, de légumes et de fleurs, pour devenir ce qui est maintenant un quartier commerçant prospère. Covent Garden abrite également le Royal Opera House, qui fait partie de ce quartier depuis le milieu du 18ème siècle. A Covent Garden, vous découvrirez aussi des spectacles de théâtre de rue que vous pourrez apprécier depuis l'une des nombreuses terrasses de restaurants de Covent Garden. L'un d'entre eux, Rules, est le plus vieux restaurant de Londres. Le plus vieux pub de Londres, le Lamb & Flag, se trouve également à Covent Garden.
Leicester Square
L'une des trois célèbres places du West End, Leicester Square, recèle de nombreuses salles de cinéma. Leicester Square rend hommage à l'univers du théâtre au travers d'une statue de Shakespeare dressée au centre de la place, et au travers des nombreux artistes de rue vous pourrez y voir. Si vous avez l'intention d'assister à l'une des comédies musicales du West End, vous trouverez souvent des billets à tarif réduit au stand TKTS situé sur cette même place.
Soho et Oxford Street
Notre prochain arrêt au cours de cette visite est le haut lieu du divertissement à Londres : Soho. Ce quartier qui est également devenu le cœur de la scène gay londonienne se situe en plein West End et regorge de restaurants, pubs et boutiques.
Au nord de Soho, vous trouverez Oxford Street, qui est la rue la plus commerçante en Europe ! Avec ses centaines de boutiques aussi variées que Topshop et Gap, Oxford Street envoutera même les plus fervents accros du shopping.
Après une journée de shopping bien remplie, vous pourrez vous détendre et vous mettre à l'aise dans votre appartement de location de vacances à Londres. ( Les locations de vacances New York Habitat à Londres sont un point de départ idéal pour explorer la ville ! Comme exemple d'une de nos locations de vacances, ce F3 à Covent Garden : L'appartement est élégant et moderne, et dispose d'une cuisine entièrement équipée. Il n'est situé qu'à quelques pas du British Museum ! Pour des séjours plus longs, nous proposons des appartements comme ce studio, également à Covent Garden: Il se trouve dans une maison du 18ème siècle, en plein cœur de Covent Garden, de sorte que le marché de Covent Garden, entre autres, est à vos pieds. Visitez pour notre offre complète d'appartements à Londres.
Piccadilly Circus et Trafalgar Square
Le point suivant de notre visite est Piccadilly Circus, une place animée et appréciée des touristes de par ses nombreux néons publicitaires. En remontant Piccadilly, vous trouverez des cafés et des boutiques telles que le restaurant Richoux, le centre commercial Burlington Arcade et la boutique des tailleurs Gieves & Hawkes. Dans Jermyn Street, vous serez tentés par des magasins de vêtements pour femmes et pour hommes tels que Hackett.
Dans le West End, vous passerez près d'institutions culturelles telles que le British Museum, l'un des musées les plus anciens et les plus importants au monde. Plus au sud, une autre institution culturelle sur Trafalgar Square : la National Gallery. Trafalgar Square mérite également une visite, car c'est là que sont érigées la colonne de Nelson, l'Admiralty Arch (arche de l'Amirauté) et de très belles fontaines.
Seven Dials
Maintenant que vous avez visité les trois grandes places du quartier du West End, à savoir Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus et Trafalgar Square, nous finirons la visite à un autre grand carrefour : Seven Dials. Il s'agit d'un carrefour formé par sept ruelles qui illustre parfaitement les grandes attractions du West End : le théâtre, le divertissement et le shopping.

Tate Modern London - Things to Do in London
Are you visiting London soon and thinking about the interesting places that you could check and go to? Let us help you with some ideas related to those places and destinations which we have been to. One of these destinations in London is Tate Modern, which is all about art.
The main goal behind Tate Modern in London is giving the world the chance to fully understand the British art from the 16th century and at the same time help them know more about the international modern and contemporary art.
Tate is an old place that is opening its doors to the public since a very long period of time but lots of tourists forget about visiting the place, especially if they are not great lovers of art, but who out there does not appreciate art and its existence? The story of Tate started back in 1897 when it first opened its doors to the public, but at that time it only had one site that displayed a small collection of British art.
Through the passage of time, this small site expanded to four different major sites along with the national collection of British art from 1500 to the present day and international modern and contemporary art, which includes nearly 70,000 artworks.
Some people are asking about the name Tate given to this art museum and from where did it come. Henry Tate is the reason behind this name and he was an industrialist who had made his fortune as a sugar refiner and who offered his British nineteenth century collection to the nation and provided the first funding to the Tate, which is the main reason why it has taken his name. The collection and history of Tate kept going further with some help and funding offered by other important characters back in history, such as the Duveen Family.
Tate Modern is the place we have been walking through in this video and which is part of the places that visitors should visit in London, it opens its gates from Sunday to Thursday from 10 AM to 6 PM, and from Friday to Saturday from 10 AM to 10 PM. According to the day you are visiting, there will be different exhibitions displayed there during special days of the year.
There are different types of art found in Tate Modern which will definitely attract the visitors to them, it might be the kind of art that combines architecture in the equation, as well as other things which the artists managed to use different objects which are considered not ordinary.
From the free collection displays in Tate Modern, there is the material and objects, the start display, the living cities, the performer and participant, and the between the object and architecture; every single one of these carries its own message through the different artwork that is displayed inside.
We enjoyed moving across this art place and loved checking and studying every single artwork that is found inside there and that is the reason why we definitely recommend that people visiting London go and check it all out - you will definitely leave the place loving art more than you might already do.
There are different places that one could visit in London in general and these include palaces, museums, parks and other touristic attractions that might be giving the city much of its popularity. When it comes to art then we should mention Albert Memorial which was done as a memory of Prince Albert and which is located in the Kensington Gardens ( and visiting the National Theatre and attending something at it (
There are lots of places to be visited in London that include Big Ben, the famous old clock that is now undergoing some restorations ( there are different palaces in the city which every single one of them carries its story, such as Buckingham Palace ( and Kensington Palace ( there is also London Eye which provides the visitors with the views over the city ( and there is also the different famous parks that make London a lot different (
There are lots of different things and places to be done and visited in London and which will attract different types of people to them, they will depend on the likes and dislikes of everyone visiting London and what he/she will be interested to see and do in the city of fog.
Have you ever been to the Tate Modern in London? Did you ever get inside to walk by all this artwork? Let us know more about the art pieces which you liked the most and tell us what did you enjoy the most about the place, let us hear about your experience there.
Learn more about Tate Modern and its history as well and go there to check the artwork that is done by different international artists.
