Located downtown at the junction of King and Talbot Streets, it is a strong attraction for locals and out-oftown guests alike. The original market building, established in 1845, a handsome and stately affair, was once the subject of a bucolic oil painting by local artist Paul Peel. Today, the Covent Garden Market remains one of the city’s most venerated cultural landmarks and the heart and soul of the downtown area. On market days in earlier times, farmers travelled over back-country roads to sell from their wagons at Market Square. Meat was sold from covered booths inside the market building, and a large pot-bellied stove provided heat in the winter months. Market-goers and farmers were brought together to barter on sawdust-covered floors, where everything and anything was for sale. In the 1880s, a collection of shops just east of the market building was known as the Market Bazaar, selling anything “from a needle to an anchor.” By 1905, these buildings had been torn down and “con men, jugglers, musicians, magicians, medicine men and preachers” reportedly made pitches in the open square. Covent Garden Market, which was named, like many local landmarks, after the original in London, England, retains a strong sense of London’s early history and tradition. In the 1950s, the historic stately building was replaced by an enclosed market and parking garage, which were completed in 1956, with two levels added for parking in 1958. Despite all the changes, several long-time merchant families have served the market public for generations, including the Smiths since 1887 and the Havaris family since Bob Usher, Covent Garden Market CEO Outdoor Farmers’ Market In the Market Square HOURS: THURS & SAT 8 am–6 pm May to November T W Tastes from The Tea Haus The original market Petit building Paris International Bakery and square, by Paul Peel, 1883 Sebastian’s Strano Bagel & Deli Sweet Cakes Chris’ Country Cuts Field Gate Organics Seoul Seafood Shoppe Smith Cheese Inc Chocolate Factory La Chocolaterie Forrat Hasbeans Market Lottery Conservatory of Music Happy Wear Covent Garden Market and Square was rebuilt in 1999 Spriet Family Theatre/ Original Kids Theatre The Studio We’re The Heart of London T K ...and Bl Es FARMERS’ MARKETS London’s Local Flavour 67
