Covent Garden’s Record-Breaking Year: Luxury Property Sales Soar in London’s Most Iconic Neighbourhood
Covent Garden has always been an established home for culture and history, with world-class opera, globally renowned restaurants, and beautifully cobbled streets. In recent years, it has seen a surge in residential and investment interest, reclaiming its position as one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.
The area's revival has sparked an increase in property demand, and 2024 has been a record-breaking year for United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty, which has proudly achieved the three highest-value sales in Covent Garden. These sales underscore this iconic neighbourhood's ongoing appeal and highlight its continued growth in the prime central London market.
At the heart of Covent Garden’s appeal is its lovely blend of old and new. The area is steeped in history, with its famous piazza dating back to the 17th century, yet it continues to evolve and embrace modernity. The charming streets are filled with an eclectic mix of independent boutiques, luxury brands, and world-famous entertainment venues, while the growing number of high-end residential properties attracts a high-end clientele. Covent Garden’s cultural heritage, coupled with its contemporary buzz, creates an irresistible combination for both residents and investors.
Among Sotheby’s International Realty’s most notable 2024 sales in Covent Garden is an exquisite three-bedroom apartment on Henrietta Street, with a guide price of £4.15 million. This elegant home was listed and sold by Sales Director Andrew Chambers. It quickly caught the attention of buyers looking for a blend of historic architecture and modern interiors. The property offers generous living space, high ceilings, and meticulous finishes, all in the middle of one of London’s most iconic neighbourhoods.
Another standout transaction is the prime property on Monmouth Street, which has breathtaking views of Covent Garden’s famous piazza.

The property’s enviable location and panoramic views made it highly sought after, attracting both international buyers and local investors looking to secure a piece of prime real estate in this coveted area.
The crown jewel of the reputed brokerage’s 2024 Covent Garden sales is a stunning triplex apartment on Great Queen Street, listed at £6.1 million.
