Convent Garden:
Alternate spelling of Covent-Garden .

Quote: Captain Francis Grose. Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue (1811): ' Covent, or Convent Garden, vulgarly called Common-Garden . Anciently, the garden belonging to a dissolved monastery; now famous for being the chief market in London for fruit , flowers, and herbs. The theatres are situated near it . In its environs are many brothels, and not long ago, the lodgings of the second order of ladies of easy-virtue were either there, or in the purlieus of Drury Lane .' The produce market, established in 1671, was moved to a site on the Thames River in 1974.
