You're standing at the London Transport Museum, on the edge of the Covent Garden Piazza. First, take a look at the building itself. All that iron and glass is classic Victorian. This hall was once part of the great Covent Garden market, where fruit, vegetables and flowers changed hands. William Rogers designed it in 1871 as a dedicated flower market. Just imagine what it must have smelled like back then.
