"From the lofty heights of the Royal Opera House’s fourth-floor terrace, you can spy all the best bits of Covent Garden—the street performers, the market stalls, cobbled streets—without all the pigeons and shopping bag-related injuries. There’s a European-leaning menu at Piazza but it’s so tranquil up here—tasteful grey seating, hanging foliage, proximity to ballet dancers—that it’s a pleasant spot even if you’re just having a glass of wine. A drink here is the right way to show out-of-towners Covent Garden, without making you hate yourself." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"We can all agree that Winter Wonderland would be best viewed from above—far away from the beak of an oversized, cuddly penguin with a manic look in its eye, but still within eyeshot of all the festivities. The Royal Opera House gets this. At Christmastime the historic venue’s Piazza takes on the persona of Winter Wonderland's rich, classy godmother. The rooftop is beautifully decorated with garlands, there are heat lamps, cashmere turtlenecks galore, and you can look out over Covent Garden’s twinkling lights from a safe distance, snuggled up in blankets with champagne in hand." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
