Coventry Street is short but it earns its keep, running between Soho and Piccadilly Circus in central London. The name traces back to Henry Coventry, a 17th-century statesman who once held land here. The street became a key link, joining the theatre crowd of the West End with the more polished end of Piccadilly.
Entertainment and hospitality have always been its thing. It is lined with the sort of places that pull visitors from all over, the Trocadero chief among them, a building that has shifted from music hall to entertainment complex over the decades. Shops and eateries come and go, but the buzz holds, with big restaurants, cinemas and the familiar international names.
Transport could hardly be easier. Piccadilly Circus Underground Station sits right there on the Bakerloo and Piccadilly lines, with Leicester Square and Regent Street a few steps on. No major historic figure is known to have lived on the street itself, though it has seen plenty of stars pass through on their way to the nearby theatres and cinemas. The places listed on this street below are a good place to start.
