London 2010

Built 40 years ago, now is the Covent Garden tourist heart of London. The centre of this area is the square where the market is right there and its surroundings are all kinds of shops, pubs, restaurants, in many cases may even enjoy some theatre show in the same plaza.Originally, the centre of the area was a garden of a convent attached to Westminster Abbey after the dissolution of the monasteries was assigned to the first Earl of Bedford. It was the fourth Earl of Bedford who designed them.To the south of Covent Garden is The Strand, an area linked with Westminster and the City that once was full of palaces.
