| The Location – Neal Street |
|
Located in Covent Garden, on the corner of Neal Street and Shaftesbury Avenue, the area is dominated by shopping, street performers, theatres, cinemas and above all the historic flower, fruit and vegetable market. To view maps and get directions to the restaurant, please click here. Neal Street used to consist of old fruit warehouses. Many of the warehouses built in 1901 in the Dutch Style, were geared to the storing and transportation of fruit to and from the Covent Garden Fruit and Vegetable market. The cavenous basements in Neal Street were frequently used to keep the fruit cool and it's rumoured that that the labyrinth of interconnecting tunnels may run as far as Leicester Square. No. 80 is an historical building and dates from the early 18th Century. The premises retain much of the original interior, including a good staircase and panelled first floor rooms. Whereas No. 82 has been reconstructed and is not listed. No. 78 is a 17th Century survival and is also listed as a heritage building. |
