Covent Garden 1908

Covent Garden 1908

This picture shows the flourishing of the vegetable, fruit and flower
market in the Covent Garden square in the beginning of the 20th century.


This was the time and the place where Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower
girl, met Professor Higgins in G.B.Shaw's play The Pigmalion
(first performed in 1913), which later became the musical My Fair
Lady
.


On the photograph, the building on the right
is called the Piazza. It stands in the middle of the square, occupying
most of it. Nowadays it houses a tourist-oriented indoor market with
some of finest shops and restaurants in London. To
