Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop

Their history begins in 1856 in Hoxton, an area of London bordered by the wealth of the City and the poverty of the East End, where Benjamin Pollock was born and grew up. Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop of Covent Garden is one of the few remaining toy shops in the West End of London. They stay true to the original aesthetic of our namesake and the tenets of the Stevenson quote. They now produce our own range of theatres and paper models designed by contemporary artists. These are often on display at top London locations such as Liberty, Fortnum & Mason and the Royal Opera House.

The Market Building

Covent Garden had played host to markets for centuries before anybody even thought of building a structure to house them. The market opened in 1830. Including the £34,850 paid to the building contractor, William Cubitt of Gray’s Inn Road, the work had cost the duke £61,000—considerably more than he anticipated—but it was worth every penny. With the space more economically organised and the rents for stallholders now clearly established, Bedford was able to stop contracting the market out and instead start collecting rents himself. Crowds flocked to the attractive and well managed new market and the duke reaped the dividends. It is now home to modern businesses, independent stores and quirky, indie shops, let the spending begin.

Always make sure you have time for a quick massage, blow-dry and floristry workshop in between everything.

Neal’s Yard Diary

A trip to a Neal’s Yard shop is heaven for fromage-ophiles – and yes, that is the technical term. Neal’s Yard is mainly all about British cheese, but you’ll find the odd French or Italian variety on offer, too. The company kicked things off in Covent Garden – in Neal’s Yard, natch – but went on to set up two more shops, one in Bermondsey and one in Borough Market, so all your cheese needs will be catered for.

Glossier
