Why People Choose Downtown

Downtown London is the city's urban centre, and its cultural anchor is Covent Garden Market at 130 King Street — vendors have traded on this site since 1835, and the market was formally established in 1845. The current market building dates to 1999, a modern glass-and-brick structure housing around 50 vendors, with a bi-weekly outdoor farmers' market and more than 20 restaurants. The public square near the market's main entrance on Talbot Street hosts summer festivals and becomes an outdoor ice-skating rink each winter. Downtown living here means condos and apartments within walking distance of the market, restaurants, and the rest of the urban core.
