Summary edit
| Description |
English: Covent Garden Covent Garden was the name given, during the reign of King John (1199 - 1256), to a 40 acre patch in the county of Middlesex, bordered west and east by which is now St. Martins Lane and Drury Lane, and north and south By Floral Street and a line drawn from Chandos Place, along Maiden Lane and Exeter Street to the Aldwych. Charles Fowlers designed covered market in the middle of Piazza was completed in 1830. It looked much as it does today except that the two main aisles were uncovered. The glass roofs were added separately in 1875 and 1889. In 1964 the Covent Garden Market Authority (CGMA) decided to move the market to Nine Elms in Battersea.
Left empty in 1974 the Central Market Building was preserved and renovated by the Greater London Council, and reopened in 1980 as a complex of shops, boutiques, and open-air restaurants. ( http://www.covent-garden.co.uk/index.html ) |
