burlington arcade

The Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping arcade off of Piccadilly in London. It is one of the precursors of the modern shopping mall. The arcade was built for Lord George Cavendish, the owner of the adjacent Burlington House and opened in 1819. It comprised a single straight top-lit walkway lined with seventy two small storey units. Some of of the units have now been combined, reducing the number of stores to around forty. The arcade has always been an upmarket retail location. It is patrolled by Burlington Arcade Beadles in traditional uniforms including top hats and tailcoats. The original beadles were all former members of Lord George Cavendish's regiment, the 10th Hussars. Presently the stores include a range of clothing, footwear and accessory shops, art and antique dealers and jewellers.
