What's on in Covent Garden

Covent Garden sits in the heart of Greater London where the pavement is often more crowded than the tube. The Royal Opera House has been hosting serious performances since before your grandparents were born, yet it still manages to feel fresh and full of life. It is a place where you can catch a show without needing to book a ticket months in advance if you know where to look. You might find yourself wandering past street performers who are far better at their craft than most people on the Tube. There is usually a market stall nearby selling things you did not need but cannot resist buying anyway. Near Here keeps track of what is playing tonight so you do not have to waste time scrolling through endless lists.
