London’s Arcades
London’s Arcades date back to the early nineteenth century, and for generations were the most exclusive shops in town, but are now often forgone in favor of bigger, more populated shopping streets. I’ll admit that most of the time I spend in the Arcades is either walking from Green Park tube station up towards Savile Row or from Mayfair down to St. James’s, but I love them nonetheless. The sights, sounds, and in many cases smells, are worth the walks, and I dare you to walk by Cleverley or Budd without stopping to take a look.
