Getting to know Brixton
Location
Location
The area now known as Covent Garden is situated in central London, not far from Trafalgar Square. It’s bounded in the west by St Martins Lane and in the east by Drury Lane. To the south is The Strand and to the north Longacre. The heart of this district is Covent Garden Market itself, set on a large Italianate piazza designed by the celebrated architect, Inigo Jones. On a sunny day, this could be any European city.
Where is Belgravia?
When the old hospital site in Middlesex, Mortimer Street was bought, it was called „Noho Square“ by the buyers. Noho means North Soho, this did not please Fitzrovians. The plans went ahead and it was decided that flashy apartments would be built in Fitzrovia. The residents were happy when the credit crunch struck because the plans were abolished and all was quiet for two years. But this week, the new homes and offices that have been built are revealed. However the original plan has been changed slightly and they are designed to suit the overall atmosphere of the area and at prices to suit the locals.
