SEASONAL Tips
1 - St Paul's church
Known as the Actor’s church in Covent Garden, this beautiful church was designed by Inigo Jones and has a small but rather lovely garden, in an area where gardens are hard to come by, and with loads of seats.Â
2 - penhaligon's
The perfumier in Covent garden is another local landmark, a survivor since 1870, it’s a place where the staff are as happy for you to look around and ask questions, as they are to sell you things.
Trace the history of pop culture in London and see the sites of the 1960's and 70's which made for 'Swinging London' with Victoria.
