Covent Garden
Theatreland village, Rules, J Sheekey, the WC2 piazza axis
Covent Garden is the WC2 piazza-and-theatreland axis between Soho and the Strand, the Royal Opera House, the Floral Hall, the seven streets that fan from the market. The chapter accepts the rooms that have outlasted the tourist piazza and run on serious kitchens: Rules (1798, London's oldest restaurant proper), J Sheekey on St Martin's Court, Cora Pearl on Henrietta Street, Balthazar's Russell Street brasserie. The pre-theatre register the traveller uses when the evening is built around a Wyndham's or a Royal Opera House booking.
