St Martin's Courtyard

Since it opened in 2012, St Martin's Courtyard has ensured Covent Garden's presence on the map of London's worthy shopping destinations. Its neat, pedestrianised streets are lined with smart shops such as Jack Wills, Eileen Fisher, Cos and new additions & Other Stories and Swarovski. It's also turned into a bit of a haven for post-shop, pre-theatre meals – Bill's and modern Mexican Cantina Laredo are both decent options. There are regular events and festivals too, from yoga classes to open air cinema.
