Westminster Abbey’s
‘convent garden’ land
granted to John Russell,
1st Earl of Bedford
Architect Inigo Jones
is commissioned to
design and build
Covent Garden Piazza,
St. Paul’s Church
and the surrounding
arcaded houses
Buzzing with the excitement of opera and theatre
land, Covent Garden has become a destination for
food lovers and fashionistas alike.
Capco has spearheaded this transformation by
bringing in a host of innovative global brands.
Our marketing and brand building strategy
focuses on culture, fashion, food and the arts.
Every year a variety of events and pop-ups appear
in and around the Piazza. These have recently
included London’s first ever fashion pop-up
street and an installation by artist Alex Chinneck
which created the illusion of the Market Building
levitating magically over the Piazza.
The district is also being reconnected with
its 17th century residential roots. The Henrietta
and The Russell set new standards of quality
and pricing for luxury living in Covent Garden.
The Southampton and The Beecham have
just come to market offering stunning lateral
apartments and duplex penthouses for sale
and for rent.
