Covent Garden is one of London's liveliest neighbourhoods. There is the old market building with its shops and stalls, the Royal Opera House, street performers on the Piazza, the boutiques of Seven Dials and some excellent restaurants, all within a few minutes' walk. Whether it is your first visit or your tenth, a private chauffeur means you arrive relaxed, move around easily and spend the day as you want.
Why See Covent Garden With a Private Chauffeur?
Covent Garden sits in one of the busiest parts of central London, between the Strand, Long Acre and the narrow streets around Seven Dials. Using the Tube with shopping bags, young children or a tight schedule can be tiring. With a chauffeur, you are collected from your hotel or home, dropped in the heart of Covent Garden and picked up whenever you are ready.
No looking for parking, no crowded Tube at rush hour and no fixed timetable. A cultural day, a shopping trip or a night at the theatre: your chauffeur takes care of getting you there and back, so you can enjoy the part that matters.
The Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House on Bow Street is home to the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet and is one of the great performing arts venues of the world. The current theatre dates from 1858, the third on the site. Its Paul Hamlyn Hall, the old Floral Hall with a soaring glass and iron roof, is one of London's loveliest interiors and is open to visitors during the day, even without a ticket.
Your sightseeing chauffeur will drop you at the entrance and wait while you explore the public spaces, join a backstage tour or simply enjoy the building.
Covent Garden Piazza and Market
The Piazza is the historic heart of the area, a cobbled square laid out by Inigo Jones in the 1630s. The covered market building in the middle was added by Charles Fowler two centuries later. Today, the Apple Market, the East Colonnade Market and the Jubilee Market are full of craft stalls, independent designers, antiques and street food, and the Piazza is famous for its street performers, from musicians to acrobats.
Your chauffeur will drop you on the edge of the Piazza and wait while you browse the stalls, watch a performance, have lunch or afternoon tea and soak up the atmosphere.
London Transport Museum
In the old Victorian Flower Market on the east side of the Piazza, the London Transport Museum tells the story of how London learned to move, from horse-drawn buses and the first Underground carriages to the red Routemaster bus and the famous Tube map. It is brilliant for children and just as interesting for adults who like design and history.
Your chauffeur will drop you at the museum and wait while you explore. It is one of Covent Garden's most consistently enjoyable attractions.
Theatreland and the West End
Covent Garden sits in the middle of London's Theatreland, surrounded by famous venues such as the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the London Coliseum and the Lyceum. With Shaftesbury Avenue and the Strand close by, it is easy to combine a day here with an early dinner, a show and a ride home afterwards.
We run pre-theatre and post-theatre chauffeur services across Covent Garden and the West End. Your chauffeur collects you from home or your hotel, drops you at the theatre door and is waiting when the curtain comes down, so the evening ends as smoothly as it began.
Seven Dials and Neal's Yard
A short walk from the Piazza, Seven Dials is a small, busy neighbourhood built in the 1690s around a sundial column where seven streets meet. Today it is full of independent boutiques, concept stores, bookshops and some of London's best restaurants and cocktail bars. Hidden nearby is Neal's Yard, a tiny, brightly painted courtyard of cafés and natural health shops that feels miles away from the crowds.
Your chauffeur can drop you at Seven Dials and wait while you explore, whether that means an hour in the shops, a long lunch or a relaxed afternoon in Neal's Yard.
