New Row is a short, narrow street running between St Martin's Lane and Bedford Street on the south-western side of Covent Garden, close to the theatres around St Martin's Lane. Largely given over to pedestrians, it is lined with small shops, cafes and eating places occupying compact, closely set frontages that give it an intimate scale. The street carries a steady flow of walkers moving between St Martin's Lane and the streets towards Covent Garden's central market, and its mix of independent outlets makes it a pleasant route rather than a purely functional one. The buildings are modest in height, keeping New Row enclosed and sheltered from the busier roads on either side. Its position near the theatres of St Martin's Lane means it sees visitors before and after performances, and the concentration of small restaurants and bars supports that trade. New Row connects to Bedford Street at its western end, linking it towards the Strand, while its eastern end opens onto St Martin's Lane near Leicester Square. The street sits within a short walk of Leicester Square and Charing Cross stations, making it a well-used connector in this densely built corner of Covent Garden, valued for its walkable character and cluster of small businesses.
