The Punch and Judy is slap bang in the middle of the Covent Garden Piazza, spread over two floors it’s a pretty standard bar that’s lent charm by it’s location. Spread over two floors, Punch and Judy offers views of both the inside of the marketplace (on the lower floor) and the outside of the square (from the balcony). The lower level (actually in the marketplace itself) with an outside seating area (or rather an indoor beer garden) was originally an old wine cellar. The low ceilings and dramatic arches are enhanced by flickering candles and framed black and white pictures of late nineteenth century London.

Upstairs, the balcony offers a great view over Covent Garden Piazza. With its appropriately nostalgic name, the Punch and Judy sits perfectly inside the dolls’ house-like features of the quadrangle of Covent Garden Market offering a sanctuary from the hoards of shoppers and strollers outside.
