Follow in the footsteps of Dickens, Alfred Hitchcock, Noël Coward and Madonna, as your professional guide takes you around the historical and modern areas of Covent Garden. 

Visit The Theatre Royal, Drury Lane – the oldest theatre site but not the oldest theatre. Here, you’ll learn about its resident ghost and why there are two royal boxes rather than one. Or why not discover where the world’s longest running play has been on uninterrupted since November 1952!

Explore the Covent Garden Piazza and uncover the history of its Italian name, the marketplace and the many shops and restaurants. Find out which famous Central London hotel has the perfect view of the Thames, why the Bow Street police station lamp is the only one made of clear glass and an old fruit and vegetable warehouse that is now a dance studio.
