DescriptionHenrietta Street, London.jpg |
English: Short, commercial, Henrietta Street, King Street with the Covent Garden Piazza form a hub of takeaways, cafés, boutiques and restaurants with one-small-block-away opposing Maiden Lane and Floral Street in the heart of the Covent Garden district, in turn the most commercial hub of WC2, Central London which are all linked by Southampton Street and James Street respectively. St Paul's Church, Inigo Place (Inigo James Garden, named after the architect noted for churches, landscapes with Capability Brown and mansions), The Royal Opera House/Royal Ballet as well as the central site of the London Transport Museum face the covered two/three-tier "market house" plaza forum. In the west Bedford Street leads off to the south-east like Southampton Street to the Strand. In the east Russell Street (the Duke of Bedford, seated at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire is a Russell) runs a few metres east, connecting Bow Street. Some of the land here is still let by the family of His Grace, the Duke of Bedford.
By the steps of this church Category:My Fair Lady is set: young Eliza Doolittle who needs to sell her flowers, which have just been knocked over by a young man in the rain, to make a living and who accepts an offer by a linguistic professor of lessons in being a lady so she can start her own flower shop. Many versions of this story, based on Galathea in Pigmalion and Galathea see her shop open successfully in Covent Garden and marrying the young workman who bumped into her rather than any of the upper class as the Pigmalion character out of self-interest intends. |
