A partir da iconografia da época e das indicações da bibliografia pertinente, procura-se apresentar uma análise abrangente da configuração formal dessa praça. Destaca-se a existência de diferentes tipos de espaços livres contribuindo para determinar seu desenho: além do espaço central, também fizeram parte da praça o pátio da igreja de St. Paul, a oeste e os jardins da mansão Bedford, ao sul. Conclui-se que o desenho apresentado por Covent Garden não era completamente regular ou simétrico e teria sido bem diferente das squares londrinas dos séculos XVII e XVIII.Universidade de São Paulo.
