    7. Was one called "Convent Garden" as it

      Was one called "Convent Garden" as it was a garden where nuns lived and grew food for the poor. It has had many incarnations since - a living enclave only for the 1%, a den of vice, an arts district, and of course a huge market. These days the piazza houses a small version of what it once was with a much smaller market filled with known brands and boutiques.
