This cover is the second in a series of commissioned artwork by artist Marina Esmeraldo. See more of her work at marinaesmeraldo.com COVER ARTIST MARINA ESMERALDO ABOUT COVENT GARDEN From gentrified neighbourhood, to red-light district, to fruit and flower market – Covent Garden’s history is as colourful as the legion of shop fronts that now line its cobbled streets. Today, a pastiche of antiquated theatres, big brand boutiques, indoor markets and lively street entertainers maintain the steady throng of tourists and label-loving locals that frequent this historical pocket of central London. Just don’t forget to look up – the wealth of listed Neo-classical architecture is a joy to behold.

ABOUT COVENT GARDEN
From gentrified neighbourhood, to red-light district, to fruit and flower market – Covent Garden’s history is as colourful as the legion of shop fronts that now line its cobbled streets. Today, a pastiche of antiquated theatres, big brand boutiques, indoor markets and lively street entertainers maintain the steady throng of tourists and label-loving locals that frequent this historical pocket of central London. Just don’t forget to look up – the wealth of listed Neo-classical architecture is a joy to behold.
