Leicester Square
Big surprise this year was Leicester Square. Covent Garden is 1276 feet away from Leicester Square Underground Station. There are 2161 feet between the two points on the road. Many small businesses and unique food stalls can be found among the generic tat and German sausage vendors.

A constant smell of mulled wine and gentle croons from the Queen of Christmas add to the festive atmosphere of the market.
