🇬🇧 London | Covent Garden is Like a Huge New World...

Strolling through Covent Garden, I felt a sense of déjà vu as if I was back in Shanghai's Xintiandi. 😇 The same architecture, the same crowds, the same Venchi and Shake Shack, and even my habit of only window shopping due to the high prices—it's all so familiar... The Covent Garden Market is filled with interesting little items. I particularly recommend exploring the small shops on the second floor. One is a toy store (as seen in p4) where the small objects are exquisitely crafted, like a real-life dollhouse. 🧸 Another is a Moomin-themed store with an entire wall of Moomin mugs—so adorable, I wanted to take them all home. 🥹 Recently, there's a happy cloud pop-up. ☁️ The entire market is adorned with smiling little clouds hanging from the ceiling, which instantly lifts your spirits. 😊 There are also small stalls and street performances in the atrium, making the atmosphere incredibly lively. Additionally, as a tourist, you must explore stores that you won't find back home. 😗 Visiting Whittard for British tea, Glossier for cosmetics, and Urban Outfitters for clothing are all great options. #LondonExploration #LondonTravel #LondonShopping #CoventGarden #CoventGardenMarket
