Covent Garden, situated in the West End, is the absolute definition of must-see London. Centred around its historic, car-free/pedestrianised Italian (or neoclassical) -style Piazza, the area is bursting with high-end retailers, an incredible range of places to eat, and a wide selection of hotels all just a stone’s throw away from some of London’s most popular attractions. 

With all the beautiful buildings and scenic flower-strewn benches perfect for your next profile photo, you’ll be spoilt for choice for holiday snaps. And once you’ve explored all the nooks and crannies, there’s far more to see in nearby streets around Seven Dials, New Row and Long Acre/Floral Street. When planning your trip, it’s worth checking on adjusted opening times due to COVID-19. Here’s a round-up of Hotels.com’s most loved places in the area.

    Named after Robert Cecil and dating back to the 17th century, this quaint, historic street was actually the inspiration for a certain Diagon Alley in a famous series of books and films concerning a school-boy wizard, but that’s missing the point. The real charm of this hidden spot is the vast archive of antique maps, first edition books and rare coins found across its independent stores.

    This famous London bar describes itself as ‘home to masters in the dark arts of molecular mixology,’ and the cocktails don’t disappoint. Creatively designed and served, The Alchemist’s menu captures the spirit of the Covent Garden theatres whose reopenings have sadly not been announced yet. If you want to catch some drama, this is the bar to visit.
