INDULGE IN A WEEKEND OF WELLBEING THIS BANK HOLIDAY IN COVENT GARDEN
Garden on the East Piazza
This May Bank Holiday (3rd- 7th May), Covent Garden will become a wellness hub, as the estate is transformed with early morning outdoor yoga classes, wellness offers, aura readings and more. Shoppers and diners can discover pop-up gardens to relax and recharge in one of London’s least polluted districts.
From Thursday 3rd May to Monday 7th May, Covent Garden’s East Piazza will turn into a giant outdoor yoga studio for early morning yoga sessions, hosted by Lululemon and Psycle London. Visitors are welcome to sign up to join the free daily sessions from 8.30am each day. Post-class, yogis can head over to new Australian-meets-South American coffee house, Abuelo, to enjoy their selection of organic, farm to table breakfast or to Avobar, London’s first avocado cafe, on Floral Street, to enjoy a free smoothie and an exclusive 15% discount on food.
Covent Garden’s Central Avenue will play host to a pop-up market featuring stands from brands such as Lululemon selling a selection of yoga mats to get shoppers ready for outdoor yoga sessions. Atelier Cologne’s pure perfumes will be on offer for those looking for a new signature scent, whilst Crabtree & Evelyn’s wellness inspired products will allow you to escape everyday life.
The newly opened public courtyard Floral Court will be transformed into an enchanted garden of discovery with a magical and ethereal display for the Bank Holiday weekend by Petersham Nurseries, celebrating the launch of their two new restaurants – the perfect spot to step into a world of tranquillity and taste their delectable food offerings.
With more beauty retailers per square metre than anywhere else in London, Covent Garden including Chanel, Tom Ford and Dior are encouraging visitors to indulge in a range of invigorating beauty treatments over the break. On Friday 4th May, Jo Malone London are inviting scent-lovers to discover their new limited edition Blossom Girls and Hot Blossom fragrances with a blossom event 4pm – 8pm, whilst also enjoying a hand and arm massage. Holistic beauty brand Aveda will be offering 15-minute Glow Facials for £15 from Friday 4th May. Crabtree & Evelyn are encouraging customers to create their own “La Source Moment” with relaxing and revitalising head-to-toe rituals andClinique welcome those on the go to regain their You Time with 5, 10 and 15 minute skincare and makeup consultations.
For those planning a last-minute getaway, visit newly-opened Tumi for a one-stop holiday shop, browse Linda Farrow for luxury sunglasses or for those in despite need of a new handbag, Mulberry have recently launched a new cult bag family called the Seaton.
The Covent Garden wellness initiative is set to continue long after the May Bank Holiday with Lululemon hosting on-going yoga in Central Avenue every Thursday from 24th May until 21st June. The Piazza and its surrounding areas will see outdoor seating and stunning floral arrangements from last year’s prestigious Chelsea Flower Show reinstalled across the area encouraging everyone to reclaim their lunch break and enjoying the fresh air.
