ABOUT THE STREET SITE

Covent Garden and central London streets draw over 30 million people from everywhere to here - every year. (It's called 'footfall').    

An Ancient Centre
Why has this tiny patch of the world been a centre of attention trade and entertainment for thousands of years? Great location, history- maybe Ley lines?  - who knows?  Right now you can see shops, hostelries, buskers, markets, artists and architecture and bags of top class culture - some of the best museums in the world and yes -  the people here are friendly. .... that's a two way thing.

Another side to the street
What goes on behind the street scene is the other side to street life. This is also about the social projects to help the homeless. 

This image links to the other side. By the way this site is the only place you can buy prints of the Main map - and the 3D London poster

Theatre
Google has 14,100,000 pages answering  'London Theatre Tickets'. (fourteen million plus!) So why another one? This site is the only place that has ALL the info on a show including cast, a decent summary of the story, photos - plus the ultimate map to get there with decent tickets.  It's clear & easy to pick and book a show.
Archived articles on shows can be found on the house search.
