London's Big Egg Hunt Grand Finale at Covent Garden

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
The London Big Egg Hunt is coming to an end after this weekend, and the eggs have already started to be auctioned off for charity. For those of you who have read my previous posts, you will know that I have been searching all over London for the giant painted or sculpted eggs. You can read more about this and see photographs of a few of the eggs in their original locations here: Hunting Eggs in London: Fabergé Big Egg Hunt.

I, like many countless others, have enjoyed and appreciated the eggs across London over the past two months, and it will be sad to see them go. (However, for those enjoying similar events to this may want to try the swans in Wells or cattle in Ireland this summer.) 

With my camera in hand, I made my way to Covent Garden, first stopping off for morning indulgence in cupcakes at my favourite cupcakery, Primrose Bakery. (Perfect cupcakes and a perfect place that is slightly out of the way of the busy Covent Garden, but only a block away from it, with ample opportunity to sit down and watch people walk by its large windows.) I blogged about this here: A Visit to Primrose Bakery in Covent Garden. After stuffing my face full of sweet cupcakes, I made my way to the busy Covent Garden and joined the crowds admiring the eggs.

Here are a few photographs of the eggs that I took at Covent Garden today. The giant eggs will be on display until Monday, so it's the last chance to see them before they are taken away. They are also selling books, postcards, and other items at Covent Garden and have set up a shop in the covered market.

The staff at Lush were entertaining the children outside of the window by blowing bubbles.
