Try Floral Street, between Covent Garden tube and Covent Garden market. Several shoe shops down there .... but they are designer once so won't be cheap.





Theres also a diving shop down there that should have some
Reply:There's a shop called "Mambo" is kinda like a surf shop. Very Popular place to shop, that is the only place logically I think that would carry flip flops this time of year. It's off 'Shelton Street' Look For Mambo you won't miss it. Plus there is alot of nice stuff. Take Care
Reply:Covent Garden "style" bar serving cocktails and a chilled out, trendy vibe.





Considered to be one of London’s original “style” or “concept” bars, despite being on the scene for a while Detroit still continues to appear fresh, funky and vibrant. It also serves up some of the best cocktails in town. Talking of which, the décor itself is a bit of a cocktail of tastes… part sci-fi, part retro, part medieval crypt, its mish-mash of styles means that most individual tastes are catered for. Dimly lit, cosy alcoves are ideal for those seeking intimacy and seclusion, while quirky, space-age booths offer a more sociable, buzzing environment. The music is chilled, with popular Vinyl Evenings offering French, deep house and funk being held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This is a fashionable venue (with prices to match) but not painfully so. Chic rather than chichi, modern rather than modish, it offers a cool, laid back vibe that’s hard to resist.
Reply:There is a small shop to right of the garden that sells flip flops.


What is the dress code for a night at the opera at the royal opera house covent garden?

PROBABLY evening dress?

What is the dress code for a night at the opera at the royal opera house covent garden?
quite formal, ie dress and suit with tie, the opera is much different to the normal theatre production, its special, i reccommend seeing the last night at the proms!!!its brilliant!
Reply:There is no dress code.





But it is always nice to have an excuse for dressing up in your finest.
Reply:It depends on the day of the week. I've been to Monday night shows and people are in all sorts. If it is Friday or Saturday, then very smart eg black tie for men and cocktail/long dresses for women is the order of the day. Otherwise smart clothes that you feel comfortable in. If you are going in a group, it makes sense to agree among yourselves if you are going in black tie or not.
Reply:It used to be formal, but things may have changed. Ring the Opera House.
Reply:casual/smart
Reply:Formal evening attire.





Ladies in long dresses gloves and opera glasses.


Men in evening suites with bow ties.





So many people ignore the rules and go in jeans and tacky shoes. Dress codes should be adhered to.
Reply:Ive been to many opera's (so boring) but i wore a skirt with a black fur coat jacket. and my dad wore kikes and a polo shirt with a leather jacket.


Is there a Dr Martens shop in Covent Garden, London?

Many years ago I visited a huge Dr Martens shop in London. It was located in Covent Garden. Is the shop still there? If not, where can I find a large selection of Dr Martens shoes?

Is there a Dr Martens shop in Covent Garden, London?
There used to be one but I think it shut down. I bought my pair of Doc Martens at one of the Shelley's shoe shops on Oxford St. They have a pretty good selection, and there are a few shops on the whole of Oxford St. Happy shopping :)
Reply:yes its still there,


well it was there a couple of months ago because we passed it when we went to the fred perry shop =)
Reply:The large DM store in Covent Garden closed down about two years ago, because of the high shop rents there.





However, DMs are easily available in most large shoe stores all over London, and especially if you go to the Camden area you will find many shops that sell the widest choice of them.





The company also has a good website :http://drmartens.com/
Reply:Camden is full of Doc Martin and 'copy' Doc Martin shops. Take an 88 bus.
Reply:Camden and it's markets/shops IS the place without a doubt. Best underground stop is Camden Town (it's much quicker than the bus), then just follow the crowds. Be warned though, it's very busy at the weekends.

Where is a great place for a works leaving do near Covent Garden?

Hi there, I'm looking to hold a lovely leaving do for a valued member of staff. We want to hire a room but have access to outside if it's sunny. We want canapes mmm, not a rip off but with a touch of class.





Oh and near Covent Garden.





Am I asking too much? Any suggestions??





Would be very grateful for any help here, thank you :-)

Where is a great place for a works leaving do near Covent Garden?
There is a fantastic pizza place called (I think) Fire %26amp; Stone near to Covent Garden but it's all inside. The food is wonderful - not sure if you could have a private area though. Perhaps you would be better off at one of the pubs closeby - take a look at www.yell.com (Yellow Pages online) and do a search and then ring around a few places. Good luck!
Reply:ALL of them around the garden are good.


enjoy
Reply:I am with Karine D - about £6 a head though
Reply:Chez Gerard on the roof terrasse!!! Lovely atmosphere!


In the story pygmalion. How does the movement from the public space of Covent Garden to the private spaces on?

In the story pygmalion. How does the movement from the public space of Covent Garden to the private spaces on Wimpole Street and Mrs. Higgins's home affect the behavior of the characters? What is the safest place for Eliza?

Reply:Eliza is a flower seller. She has to project her voice beyond that which is normal. Internal scenes call for softer tones which Eliza finds difficult. She also finds it hard to modify her personality as a cheeky cockney flower seller.


The safest place for her is probably with Freddie; Higgins is a domineering prig who is only interested in engineering her behaviour to suit his own curiosity.


Most people's view of Pygmalion comes from the film 'My Fair Lady' which gives them a very skewed and untrue version of events. For example she ends up with Rex Harrison, sorry, I mean Higgins at the end of the film.
