Fri, 31 August 2007 Our journey takes from Leicester Square (whose underground station we see in the distance in the opening shot) and make our way to Covent Garden's piazza, passing a couple of interesting inns on the way. The piazza itself was originally used as London's wholesale food and flowers market (now moved further down the river to Vauxhall) but all the buildings still stand to create a fantastic mix of restaurants, food shops, and public bars. Covent Garden piazza is also famous for its street entertainers who must go through a 'battle of talent' in order to be awarded a coveted 'street entertainer's licence'. Only the best make it, so you are promised a great street show when you go and watch. The Summer In The City journey is coming to an end. Look out for next Friday's concluding episode, after which LLTV returns to showing you every part of London! Comments[0] |
