BEING SOMEBODY THAT HAD NEVER REALLY
VISITED COVENT GARDEN BEFORE COMING
INTO CONTACT WITH THIS PROJECT, I
REALLY DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT THE
AREA HAD TO OFFER. I ALWAYS KNEW THAT
COVENT GARDEN DREW IN THOUSANDS OF
TOURISTS A YEAR, AND KNEW IT WAS A HOT

TRIPS TO COVENT GARDEN FROM THE DAY
WE WERE GIVEN THIS BRIEF, IT’S ACTUALLY
MADE ME REALISE THAT THE PLACE DOES
HAVE A LOT TO OFFER PEOPLE, IT’S LOCATED
IN A REALLY NICE AREA, AND KIND OF HAS
EVERYTHING YOU NEED ON A DAY OUT IN
LONDON. FROM IT’S BARS AND
RESTAURANTES TO IT’S HIGH-END AND HIGHSTREET CLOTHING STORES, THERE ARE MANY
DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT ENSURE THE
AREA’S TOURISTS COME BACK EACH AND
EVERY YEAR.
“COVENT GARDEN HAS ALWAYS GOT
SOMETHING GOING ON, WHETHER IT
BE A STREET PERFORMER, OR MUSICAL

ALWAYS SOMETHING GOING ON. IT’S

LOOKING AT THE BOUTQUE STORES,
AND FINDING SOMETHING SPECIAL
BEHIND THE WINDOW DISPLAYS”

GAIN HER OPINION ON COVENT
GARDEN TODAY. I THOUGHT IT
WOULD BE NICE TO SEE WHAT
SOMEONE OLDER THINKS OF THE AREA,
AND JUST GENERALLY WANTED
SOMEBODY ELSES OPINION, OTHER
THAN JUST MY OWN…
