   Covent Garden Market has become London’s most attractive places to visit, it is also famous for its past history as well as the current transformation into a vibrant modern London. Older people of London still remember it as a large market for fruit and vegetable in United Kingdom. This recent history of Covent Garden began in the 1630's when land formerly belonging to Westminster Abbey, the 'Convent Garden' was developed by the 4th Earl of Bedford, in what was then the the first experiment in London, of town planning and the creation of the first public square in the country. A vigorous campaign by local residents and the public, defeated the planners vandalistic intentions to knock down most of the buildings, and instead the Market was renovated to become the popular shopping centre and mecca for arts, crafts and theatre that it is today.
