The Editor's Briefing
Covent Garden places you inside London's theatreland: five-star hotels in Covent Garden include The Savoy, the 1889 original on the Strand, and NoMad London, where the Bow Street magistrates' court has become the city's most theatrical lobby. Opera, ballet and forty stages sit within a ten-minute walk.
The Londoner adds sixteen storeys of 'super boutique' energy over Leicester Square. Stay here for pre-theatre dinners, the Royal Opera House across the road and the piazza's street performers — the West End at its most concentrated.
