Covent Garden is slowly adding high-end shopping choices. Penhaligon and Godiva are the latest, following Chanel last year. So far, it still feels pretty un-snobby; as long as I can still shop at Whittard’s, Tea Palace, Paperchase, Joy, the Moomin Shop and Pylones (aka Octopus on the map), I’ll be happy. If those get forced out, it’ll be time to drop Covent Garden and look for a new favorite shopping spot in London. I’m hoping it won’t come to that!
