Burlington Arcade & London

The grade II-listed Burlington Arcade on Piccadilly was acquired in May 2018.  The Mayfair retail destination was built in 1819 by Lord George Cavendish, built “for the sale of jewellery and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public”.  It was a precursor of the mid-19th-century European shopping gallery and the modern shopping centre, and today is still patrolled by liveried guards called the Beadles. 

The property has benefited from several upgrades over recent years and a redesign by British architect Jamie Fobert.  It now features striking stone floors sourced from English quarries, as well as restored original details including the building’s grand upper arches. The arcade boasts c. 37,000 square feet of retail with a combined frontage of over 1,100 feet and is the longest covered shopping street in the UK, uniting Piccadilly and Bond Street in the heart of Mayfair.  It attracts over 4m visitors a year, and houses artisanal luxury brands such as;  Anya Hindmarch, Globe-Trotter and Manolo Blahnik.
