Covent Garden station is one of the few stations in Central London for which platform access is only by lift or stairs. It was previously "exit only" on Saturday afternoons, when the surrounding shopping areas are at their busiest, since so many people visit the station and there is the risk of dangerous overcrowding of the platforms. It is reportedly the busiest station on the network at which access to the platforms is primarily by lift. The "exit only" rule was then lifted, but from 6 June 2007 until December 2007 the station is once again "exit only" at all times while work is carried out to improve access and ticketing facilities. Posters at the station give details of the alternative methods of getting to and from Covent Garden using surrounding stations. Central London is a much-used but unofficial and vaguely defined term for the most inner part of London, the capital of England. ...

Transport for London have committed themselves to easing the congestion at the station, which may involve the creation of a new exit further north along Long Acre (i.e. away from Covent Garden Piazza and nearer the eclectic shopping district which surrounds Neal's Yard), and the provision of escalator access.

There are four lifts which give access to street level; alternatively, there are 193 narrow and steep emergency steps to the street. During the lift journey a recorded announcement is played asking passengers to have their tickets/passes ready as they exit the lifts and where to turn for Covent Garden's market. However, this announcement is only currently used in lifts 1 and 2, as exit arrangements during the station's improvement works mean that the information is less accurate for passengers in the other two lifts.
It is said that the ghost of actor William Terriss haunts the station. The ghost was last seen in 1972. William Terriss (20 February 1847 - 16 December 1897) was an English actor. ...
