London /  West End 2

West End: Covent Garden, Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Shepherd Market

 As I mentioned on the first page covering the London West End, I use a looser definition of West End, which includes Covent Garden, Marylebone, Fitzrovia and Shepherd Market.

Covent Garden

The Covent Garden area is named after the Covent Garden market hall, which was a food and vegetable market at the central square. Today it is a tourist attraction with cafés and shops, surrounded by theatres.

 Marylebone & Fitzrovia

Marylebone and Fitzrovia are north of Oxford Street. Particularly Marylebone is full of picturesque spots, streets and restaurants.

Shepherd Market is one of the London "villages" located in the posh area of Mayfair.
