This glorious retail location is London’s oldest purpose-built shopping arcade, constructed in 1879. It proudly flaunts its original features, including a saddled glass roof, stucco arches, curved bay windows and Ionic columns.

I always liked strolling through this beautiful arcade — not that I could ever afford to buy anything!
