Top Unusual Venues in Covent Garden
In Covent Garden there are unusual venues aplenty. One moment you’re walking past opera-goers and buskers, the next you’re stepping into a subterranean hideaway with secret entrances and velvet booths. There’s a cocktail den modelled after an old explorer’s club—full of curiosities, globe-trotting maps and vintage steamer trunks. Fancy something interactive? There’s a high-tech gaming spot right off Long Acre where guests can play, eat, and order drinks to their own table. You’ll also find an actual former police station that now hosts private events—holding cells included. For something truly offbeat, there’s a gallery-meets-workshop space hidden above a shop that’s popular with local creatives. Scroll down to find more such quirky spaces for your next event. Happy browsing!
