Rent Covent Garden, Heartbeat of Central London
7 February 2012 marked the 200th birthday of one of London's most famous residents and authors, Charles Dickens. A natural yearly reaction when his birthday arrives is to remember him and the impact he had on our capitol city. The city certainly had an impact on Dickens which he acknowledged as the inspiration for many of his works. Traveling around today's London and visiting quaint old out of the way spots, like a small pub in Leather Lane Market, you will discover one of Dickens' mementos. Hung on the wall of this pub is a letter that Dickens wrote to the pub's landlord.
Recently Central London estate agent, LDG put a one bedroom flat at 4 Covent Garden on the market. This precise address, along with a few others in Covent Garden, motivated and influenced Dickens' writings. He even described the area as one of London's largest slums. How surprised he would be with its beauty today!
Covent Garden is one of London's most desirable locations today. This statement is support by the Central London Estate Agent fetching some GBP 645,000 for the property mentioned above. The flat features underground car park space, a balcony and use of the block's porter system.
The property prices in the area are upscale and may be out of purchasing range but worth considering a Central London Estate Agent property to rent in Covent Garden. While the area has been equipped with modern renovations it has preserved its historical appearance. No doubt that today Charles Dickens would be rushing to rent in Covent Garden.
Covent Garden Estates is located between St. Martin's Lane and Drury Lane on the most eastern edge of the Westend. The building that was home to a fruit and vegetable market for hundreds of years now houses one of London's most prestigious shopping centres and tourist attractions, like Apple Market and the Royal Opera House. The Piccadilly line and Covent Garden Tube Station service the area. The district is divided into several markets. The central square attracts tourists coming to see street performers. These artists perform every day except Christmas with performances generally lasting thirty minutes. The area is alive with activity so residents and those who rent in Covent Garden never need travel far for entertainment or shopping.
From 1924 to 1928 Covent Garden was the property of Beecham Estates and Pill Limited. It was taken over by the Covent Garden Properties Company, TLD which was owned by the Beechams and several other investors until the bulk of the remaining properties and market were sold in 1962 to the Covent Garden Authority for over GBP 3,900,000. By the end of the 1960s the market became unmanageable due to traffic congestion and it relocated nearby in the 1970s, leaving the buildings vacant. The market buildings were purchased by a development company in 2006 for GBP 421,000,000.
With a current market value of GBP 650,000,000, the developers' entire Covent Garden Estates covers 550,000 square feet (51,000m squared).
The world's largest Apple Store opened in 2010 at The Piazza surrounded by shops and stalls.
