Start your day with breakfast at Dishoom, a Bombay-inspired café that’s become a London staple. Their bacon naan roll and house chai are legendary. From there, take a short stroll to the Covent Garden Piazza, where street performers wow audiences with acrobatics, music, and theatre.​dishoom.com

Just a stone’s throw away is the Royal Opera House, a must-visit for lovers of the arts. Take a backstage tour or book tickets to see world-class ballet and opera. Even if you’re not catching a show, the architecture alone is worth a look.​

For some retail therapy, head to Seven Dials, a network of seven atmospheric streets filled with independent boutiques, international brands, and artisan stores. Pop into Neal’s Yard, a colorful courtyard tucked away behind Monmouth Street—perfect for photos and a quick coffee.​

Hungry? Covent Garden is a foodie’s paradise. Try Flat Iron for steak, Homeslice for massive wood-fired pizzas, or Petersham Nurseries for something more refined in a garden-like setting.​FLAT IRON
