London's Convent Garden is where you can eat, drink, shop or even just explore the stunning new world hidden in the quaint stalls and shops in this bustling area. Just one fleeting glance at this place and you know that you will never get bored here. The Convent Garden market is the main attraction and has carved a niche for itself in the hearts and minds of tourists with its arts, crafts and diverse range of delights. The central piazza is home to a captivating cafe culture and a dizzying assortment of street entertainers and events that enliven the mood of the place. Convent Garden also attracts scores of tourists due to the stately presence of two important landmarks - The Royal Opera House and the London Transport Museum. But there are several other interesting aspects to Convent Garden, from music and entertainment to food and shopping that ensure that there is never a dull moment during your visit to this vibrant part of London.
Where Boredom takes a Backseat
If you have a penchant for themed events and unadulterated entertainment, head straight to Convent Garden, a place where a special event is unveiled every day. If you are in the mood for classical music, you must book your place at the Royal Opera House to enjoy ballet and opera on Sundays. Another big draw is the music concert at St. Paul's Church. The place comes alive with shops and restaurants that will create a lingering presence in your heart and mind, even though their physical presence may not last for more than a day or two. So even though you may have missed the city's first ever alfresco Night Market for gourmet food, or may not have created your masterpiece at the Big Draw, a weekend drawing celebration for the entire family, it is never too late to be part of some of the most unique activities in the city.
