Car
There are many ways to get to central London but sometimes for reliability and personal comfort, coming by private motorcar is the only option. We wouldn’t recommend commuting by car but when you have decided to drive, remember that Covent Garden is in the Congestion Charging zone. Parking facilities are provided in NCPs at Kingsway and St Martin’s Lane but on-street parking is not abundant and can be prohibitively expensive.
With heavy traffic congestion, limited parking and the congestion charge, travel by car is the least advisable option of getting to Covent Garden. If you do however wish to drive there are a variety of car hire companies available to suit to every need.
And if travelling in comfort is your thing then London’s black taxis are a reliable, if expensive mode of transport. If a black cab’s yellow ‘for hire’ light is on then you can hail one from the street or go to the many taxi ranks across the city.
