Covent Garden is one of the most popular shopping areas in London. Situated at the heart of the capital the area has an eclectic mix of boutique shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants catering for every cuisine known to mankind. Legend has it that the ghost of an actor, who wanders the deep-shaft platforms at night, haunts the station itself. Covent Garden holds the record as being the closest to any other station on the tube, just 200 metres from Leicester Square.
