Discover Bloomsbury, Covent Garden & The West End

Once a paradise for London’s elite, it is now the epicenter of arts and entertainment. Theatres are majestically enthroned in this cultural melting pot, staging Broadway-worthy plays, musicals and premieres. In the heart of Bloomsbury, literature has seen its finest writers such as Virginia Woolf and Charles Dickens take up residence. It is therefore no coincidence that an abundance of bookstores continue making history and flourish in the Georgian architecture of the neighbourhood. Enjoy art in the many museums or a breath of fresh air in the parks, an open invitation to reconnect with nature. Take a shopping trip to Covent Garden, a former fresh produce market that has since become the place to be for cutting-edge labels. Finally, sit down in a café, restaurant or pub to observe the street shows. A Bohemian vibe and dazzling sights to which an illustrious dandy named Oscar Wilde would doubtlessly have succumbed. So let’s go with the flow!

Royal Opera House

Home to the Royal Ballet, the Royal Opera House is a national institution and is more about the physical experience than any verbal descriptions. The Royal Opera House at Covent Garden is the theatre of the arts and of emotions... On its emblematic stage, the ballet and the opera set the scene, like a declaration of love to culture and to the extraordinary lyrical tradition.

Covent Garden

Charming and buzzing are the adjectives most used to describe Covent Garden. Topped by an imposing glass roof, what was once the garden of the convent of St. Peter has since been transformed into the huge artisanal Apple Market. Street artists perform amid the picturesque flower stalls. With its chic boutiques and restaurants, the pedestrian Piazza is a place to shop and relax.

Lincoln’s Inn Fields

A ‘green lung’ in the heart of London, this is a place where Londoners love to stroll and enjoy the serenity of the surroundings. Take time to breathe in the fresh air here, go for a walk or play a game of tennis on the many courts in the park.

British Museum

Now just over a quarter of a millennium old, the British Museum houses the treasures of the world’s cultures. More than seven million objects and archives take you on a journey through time and across continents to discover the history of civilizations, from the beginning of humanity to the present day.

Lambs Conduit Street

This picturesque alley in Bloomsbury is one of London’s must-sees, notably featuring small boutiques as well as restaurants, pubs and wine bars. An insider tip to discover new addresses that please the eye and tickle the palate.

Somerset House
