Free Things to Do in Covent Garden
Covent Garden isn't just theatre tickets and designer shopfronts - these four are free to walk into, any day of the week.
Not everything in Covent Garden costs money. Two of the National Gallery collections sit within a few minutes’ walk of the Piazza, both with free general admission, and a handful of smaller sites – a 17th-century church, an Art Deco Masonic hall – are also open to anyone at no charge.
