Hotels in Covent Garden, London

Covent Garden centres on its handsome covered piazza, where street performers, the Royal Opera House and the old market building draw crowds from morning to night. It's prime Theatreland, ringed by restaurants, the boutiques of Seven Dials and Neal's Yard's tucked-away colour. Staying here means walking to a West End show, the British Museum or the river without touching the Tube. Covent Garden suits first-time visitors and theatre-goers who want postcard London — central, polished and very walkable, if pricier and busier than the residential neighbourhoods further out.
