Front elevations of a terrace of shops at 38-42 Tavistock Street, Covent Garden. The street runs parallel to The Strand and was originally part of York Street, which was renamed and renumbered in 1937. The four-storey buildings were erected in the early-eighteenth century and initially used solely for residential accommodation. Alterations were made in the early-nineteenth century to create ground-floor shops. The street is close to the former Covent Garden flower and fruit market. Number 38 is trading as J. Collingridge Ltd, wholesale florist and fruit merchant. Number 40 has an awning above the ground-floor window with a pair of doors, both closed. Number 42 is trading as Pollard & Sons, Fruiterers and Florists Supplies. There is a street lamp and parking meter in view. A Rover P6 car is parked in the street. Number 38 Tavistock Street is Grade II listed, listing number 1066231. Numbers 40-42 are Grade II listed, listing number 1276087.
