Since its humble beginnings as ‘the garden of the Abbey and Convent’ in the 13th century through to the historic opening of the fruit and vegetable market in 1830, Covent Garden has been a neighbourhood dedicated to bringing people together.
The garden may have given way to an open air fully pedestrianised Piazza but the roots of Covent Garden remain here to this day.
At Covent Garden we believe in protecting the unique character and heritage of the neighbourhood whilst making changes to ensure we are supporting the community.
Read on to learn more about the Covent Garden neighbourhood, how we are working to support the area and ways you can get involved.
Launched in time for the Global Investment Summit (19 October) and the United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP26 (from 1 November), Great British Brands ZERO (GBB ZERO) talks to 26 luxury leaders about how they are changing their businesses to help fight climate change and save our planet.
The brands, including Bentley, Burberry, Covent Garden, Harrods, Mulberry and Selfridges, were chosen in collaboration with Walpole, the official sector body for UK Luxury. The brands, all at different stages of the journey, talk about the challenges they have overcome and continue to face. By gathering their stories in one edition, GBB ZERO hopes to inspire other brands in the luxury sector and beyond, to commit to net zero.
