Peering between Drury Lane and Bow Street the suitably named Broad Court replaced in 1745 what was once the cramped and narrow Red Lion Court. This historic pedestrian precinct is now a refined avenue of stone flag paving, 19th century gas lamps and an assortment of potted bushes. Here you will find the soon-to-be refurbished Fielding Hotel, and in a narrow tributary off the Court is the Sun Tavern, a pleasant little haunt with tables set out just before the passage emerges through an archway into Long Acre. The predominantly Victorian mansion flats found here are priced at around £515New Row, WC2N
Right in the heart of London, where theatres, galleries, museums and restaurants are all on the door step, is New Row: a convenient little cut-through which will take you from St Martin's Lane to King Street and on to Covent Garden's popular Piazza. This secluded semi-pedestrianised street is lined with a combination of Georgian and Victorian houses, and has a villagey feel with a number of listed buildings, cafés and boutique shops lining its quaint through fare.
