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.
