Weathering the vagaries of popular demand Covent Gardens rose from being a lowly vegetable field attached to London's Westminster Abbey to become a luxury neighborhood in the seventeenth century, then a market for fruit and veg vendors, with it's future hanging in the balance when the market was closed in 1974. Plans to develop the area with office blocks fortunately petered out, and today London's oldest planned square, Covent Gardens, boasts designer gift shops, trendy clothes boutiques and some of the finest restaurants in London. It has become once more a very desirable residential area and one of London's major tourist attractions.
