The Covent Garden Quarter market takes place in Warwick Street near Coffee Architects and is held to help promote people to shop and support independent retailers.

Eleni Bradshaw, owner of Thrills of the Emporium which now move to an online store only, and Debra Whitaker, owner of Hush in Warwick Street, came up with the idea of bringing back a market to the Covent Garden area and have been working with Warwick District Council.
