The London Transport
Museum is one of the biggest sights in Covent Garden.
Covent Garden was the first public square in London. During medieval times
there was a vegetable garden and it was called Covent Garden. It was used to
provide monks with food.
In 1632, Francis Russel gave Inigo Jones (architect)
an order to turn the area into a fancy neighbourhood. But around 1642, most of
the houses were turned into stores. In 1830,
a market hall was built in the middle of the square.
As you can see on the
map, Covent Garden is very centrally situated in London.
