Crusting Pipe

The Crusting Pipe opened in Covent Garden in 1980, as the area began its transformation from a historic fruit and vegetable market into the destination it is today. Established by the Davy family in the lower courtyard, it became one of the most recognisable and successful venues in the Davy’s estate for over forty years.

As trading environments and customer habits have evolved, this chapter has now come to a close. We remain grateful to the many team members and customers who contributed to the character and success of The Crusting Pipe over the years.
