One Hiver mentioned markets in London when commenting on my earlier post. It brought back memories of my market-visiting experience there. So for today's Wednesdaywalk, let's go to the lovely Apple Market and some other spots in Covent Garden.
Covent Garden is a vibrant and historic district located in London's West End. It is home to a variety of shops, restaurants, theatres, and cultural attractions. One of the main attractions here is the Apple Market, which is located in its central square.
It has a long history and by the late 17th century, it was the largest market in London for selling fruit and vegetables. Today, it remains a bustling hub of activity and a popular spot for visitors to pick up interesting souvenirs.
This covered market boasts over 30 stalls selling a wide range of goods, including handmade crafts, souvenirs, jewelry, and vintage clothing. I loved browsing the rich choices of merchandise and eventually purchased some English rose tea and a pair of handmade earrings.
In addition to visiting the stands and shops, I enjoyed looking at the architecture. The unique blend of historical and modern design elements looks quite appealing to me. The wrought-iron and glass roof was added in the twentieth century and provides natural light to the market stalls below. The roof is supported by ornate cast-iron columns, a hallmark of Victorian architecture.
Aside from the Apple Market, Covent Garden also has a number of other attractions, such as the Royal Opera House and the London Transport Museum. I haven't gone inside of these two yet and have only taken pictures from the outside. There are also numerous restaurants and cafes in the area, serving up a range of international cuisines like the popular Taiwan restaurant Din Tai Fung.
昨天有Hiver评论我那篇萨布隆集市时提到了伦敦的市场，所以我又想起一些在那里看到的市场，今天就通过照片来向大家展示一下考文特花园的苹果市场。
考文特花园位于伦敦西区，是个充满活力的历史街区。这里有各种各样的商店和餐馆，也有剧院等文艺场所。苹果市场就位于中心位置的广场上。
这处市场历史悠久，早在17世纪晚期就成为售卖水果蔬菜的中心。现在的几十家店铺售卖各式各样的货品，除了生鲜熟食，还有手工艺品、珠宝首饰及古着等很多选择，可以买到有意思的纪念品。我在这里买了一盒英伦玫瑰茶和一对手工银耳环。
除了各种店铺和商品，这里融合了历史和现代设计元素的建筑也很有特色。屋顶由华丽的维多利亚式铸铁柱子支撑，后来增加的玻璃屋顶给市场提供了充足的自然光线。
考文特花园还有些其他景点，比如皇家歌剧院和伦敦交通博物馆。不过我还没有进去，只是从外面拍了照片。附近也有许多餐馆和咖啡馆，可以尝到来自世界各地的美食。

Love this post and walk, I did visit Covent gardens, but I dont think I ever made it to the apple market which I now regret it looks so cool
Thanks for joining the Wednesday, its always fun for me to visit the walks from all around the world, getting a feel for communities where people live and what they see on their daily walks
Cool place indeed, maybe you will have a chance to visit it in the future. :)
I doubt I wil make it there again but then again never say never
Oh this is a pretty place. I like the architecture too!
Yep, I keep on looking at the roof and columns.😃
I was like "hold on, I recognise this place" :)
Can't wait till the weather gets warmer so I can go roaming around town again.
Spring is almost there!
The covent garden looks like a great place where to spend some relaxing moments close to your loved ones! Nature and urban vibes in a single place! Lovely!
Very well said, thanks! I love it when some Hivers can summarise my post better than me.😇
Haha. Thanks! 😁🤗
