For nearly a decade, we’ve been populating our Covent Gardener map with all manner of characters, from the illustrious to the infamous.

For our 10-year edition, expect a few fresh faces, and a few to mysteriously vanish. Anyone who annoys is quietly… erased.

Can anyone guess who these three are?

Deep in discussion with Myra about some Covent Garden news, when her 11-year-old grandchild decided to launch “Shh Airlines” straight across the table.

The most creative way I’ve ever been told to tone it down… Anyone this inventive (and brave) clearly needs to be on The Covent Gardener team!

created our very first cover 10 years ago (wonder how many of you still have that issue tucked away somewhere). And now, a full decade on, he’s created our 10-year anniversary cover.

I’ve worked with Russ for years. He’s not just an extraordinary illustrator, but a dear friend, and one of those rare people I admire more with every project.

His work always makes me laugh. And he always, always gets it right.

Thank you, Russ. I can’t wait for everyone to see your new cover! OUT September 10th
