Did you know that on this day in 1974, the Old Covent Garden market officially ceased trading and moved to Nine Elms in Vauxhall?
Once known for its incredible market selling flowers, fruit and vegetables, Covent Garden in London is now more widely known for its shops, restaurants, tourists, street performers and a tube station with an inordinate amount of steps to the street – we recommend using the lifts!
