Litchfield Street lies on the western edge of Covent Garden, close to Charing Cross Road and the boundary with Soho and the theatres of the West End. It is a short street of some age, lined with brick buildings whose ground floors carry a mix of shops, eating places and small businesses. The street sits within reach of the theatres clustered around Cambridge Circus and St Martin's Lane, and it shares in the evening trade that those venues bring to this part of the district. Its character is more contained than the market quarter, with narrower frontages and a quieter feel away from the main shopping routes. Upper storeys hold offices and flats, and the street forms part of the close-knit network of lanes that fill the ground between Covent Garden and Soho. Foot traffic here is steady rather than heavy, drawn by the shops and by people moving between the two districts. Its position on the western fringe ties it to theatreland and to the dining trade that serves theatregoers, making it one of the smaller streets that link Covent Garden to its lively neighbour.
