Mr. CLIFFORD COLLINSON : 'Covent Garden '
COVENT GARDEN was originally a convent garden, where a salad was cut for a lady abbess, and flowers wero gathered to adorn images.' There are plenty of flowers to bo found there today, but they no longer grow there. It is now the site of tho central London market for flowers, fruit and vegetables. Thus it remains true to the tradition of the garden by bringing all tho fragrance and colour of the countryside into the very heart of the drab metropolis. The long glass-roofed arcades are seen at their brightest and busiest in tho small hours of the morning on one of the official market days, but sightseers at such a time are tolerated rather than welcomed.
