Reviews for Covent Garden Underground Station
Does what it says on the tin, but only just.
This is a mega-busy tube station and not exactly a pleasant experience.
OK, it gets you up to street level from a crowded tube train, but the lifts are horrid, the people who get off at this station are even worse, and when you finally get to the surface, you're faced with an endless row of dodgy rickshaws, illegal street traders, yawn-inducing mime artists and shops that are horrendously expensive.
Is it worth it? No. Would you use this station again? Not until they change the recorded voice in the lifts from an Australian female to a real Londoner.
It's worth knowing that Leicester Square station is only a very short distance away, but so much more comfortable (and safer?) to alight. A brisk walk up Long Acre is all that it takes to get to the tat of Covent Garden.
