Fantastic building. Not so keen on the new parts though I understand why it happened. Exhibition I paid to see was massively overcrowded and that spoilt my day out. Full review by Ocado

The best time to visit Covent Garden depends on what kind of experience you're looking for, as it has different charms throughout the year: Spring (April - June): The weather is mild, and the flower displays, especially at Easter, are beautiful. Outdoor seating is pleasant, and the area is vibrant but not as crowded as in peak summer. Cycling and walking are recommended for this period. Summer (July - August): This is the busiest time, with outdoor performances, open-air dining, and festivals in full swing. However, it can be crowded, and prices may be higher due to the peak tourist season. Hanging out with a large group of family or friends is recommended for this period. Autumn (September - November): Early autumn offers a quieter experience, with warm days and a slight decrease in tourist numbers. In late autumn, the Christmas lights start to go up. Winter (December - February): Covent Garden is known for its magical Christmas decorations and holiday markets. Visiting in December allows you to experience the holiday cheer, but January and February can be quieter, with post-holiday sales in many shops. If you want to avoid crowds but still enjoy good weather, consider visiting in late spring or early autumn. For a festive experience with holiday decorations, December is the best.
