Langley Street runs through the northern part of Covent Garden, in the network of streets around Neal Street and Shorts Gardens. It sits in one of the district's most retail-led quarters, where independent shops, fashion outlets and eating places fill the ground floors and draw a steady flow of shoppers. The street is largely given over to trade at street level, with offices, studios and flats on the upper storeys of its brick buildings. Its character is busy but more informal than the grand frontages of the Piazza, in keeping with the mixed commercial grain of the streets north of Long Acre. Foot traffic here is drawn by the shopping rather than the theatres, and the street forms part of the well-worn circuit that visitors follow between Neal Street, Seven Dials and the market. Small courts open off its length, adding to the layered street pattern of this part of Covent Garden. Its position ties it to the busy northern shopping district and to the wider flow of people moving through this animated quarter of the West End.
