What can you do if the oufits in Lily Allens shop are too expensive for you to buy? In the 17th century Covent garden was the biggest and most important flower, fruit and vegetable market in Birtain. It was alsoone of the first markets to start selling pineapples and for this reason, the pinapple became the market's logo. Today, there is no longer a fruit and vegetable market at covent garden, but you can still see pineapples as part of the architecture . Around 1700, workers at the market often went to a pub called the Lamb and Flag to drink beer or gin after work. (It wasn't safe to drink water!) They sometimes saw illegal boxing matches there, and for that reason, the pub's nickname was the 'Bucket of Blood'! The pub is still open today. the oldest restaurant in London, Rules, is in  covent garden. It has been open since 1798 and serves traditional English food, including pies and puddings. covent garden is the only venue in London where buskers and other street performers are allowed to work. A lot of people want to perform there, so there are auditions and only the best artist can perform. Bon Jovi once busked there in front of a very surprised audience! In fact, if you want to spot a celebrity, covent garden is a good place to start. Singer Lily Allen owns a clothes shop there, and if you can't afford the outfits, you can fire them just for a night out!
