We decide to head to Covent garden we had spent a lot of time locally and was really looking forward to exploring a bit further afield now that some of the COVID restrictions had lifted.
Covent Garden looked very different, the usual hustle and bustle had gone, no street traders or entertainers insight, the cobbled streets seemed bare and for the first time ever I could see across the entire square. There were just small groups of people wandering around, probably wanting to get out and about like us, the shops were open but empty.
But we were so happy to hear that Milk Train in Covent Garden had re-opened so we made our way to get our long-awaited ice cream fix, the menu is currently limited, but there is still plenty to choose from. at the time we visited the seating area had been removed and the usual flower wall had gone, but it was nice to be back and experience the new normal.
We opted for a tasty vanilla ice cream with rainbow drops, chocolate sauce and of course sprinkles, It’s was nice to get out and experience the new normal pre-COVID.
Visiting Covent garden was strange after covid restrictions were lifted, it has to be one of the strangest experiences, but yet it filled us with a sense optimism of the return to normal life. We missed you Covent Garden and can't wait until you return to the hustle-bustle place that we all know and love.
Please note this post was our experience on 26 June 2020, we are defiantly looking forward to returning again.
