🎄 The Liveliest Christmas Market in All of London!
The Apple Market at Covent Garden is bustling with Christmas cheer. "Covent" means "convent" in old English, and over 800 years ago, this garden was built by monks. In the early 17th century, this was London's main market for vegetables and fruits, adjacent to St Paul's Church, built in 1633 (not to be confused with the famous St Paul's Cathedral). 🏰As the market shifted, this area gradually evolved into an entertainment hub, boasting theaters (including the renowned Royal Opera House), pubs, restaurants, and numerous shops, attracting a plethora of street performers and artists. Today, Covent Garden still preserves much of its historical architecture. Whether you're in London for architecture, art, or shopping, this place comes highly recommended. ➡️Take the tube to Covent Garden station on the blue line, or walk over from Chinatown. ⚠️During this Christmas season, it's especially crowded, so be sure to keep an eye on your belongings. #UK #City #LondonLife #London #StreetPhotography #Christmas #Photography #MobilePhotography #Shopping
