Princes Arcade

Princes Arcade is a quaint old-​fashioned shopping arcade dating back to the Victorian era, which runs off the main drag of Piccadilly. The shop facades retain their traditional facades, which lends the arcade a nice cozy feel.
The shops are an eclectic mix but worth a look for some original gift ideas. They aren’t cheap but affordable for a good friend/​family member.
At the moment, the arcade has some lovely Christmas decorations up and there are loads of photographers happily snapping away. A quintessential view of London in days gone by

A quaint, old fashioned shopping arcade that runs off Piccadilly, one of several similar arcades in this area. Walking into the arcade is almost like stepping onto the set of a Dickensian film, you half expect a lady to swish past in a crinoline or a man in a tail coat and top hat to come scurrying out of a door. The shops are quite small and all have the same traditional windows which gives the arcade it’s charm. The shops sell mostly expensive, luxury items, it’s usually the jewellery that catches my eye, but really I just like walking through and enjoying the vintage setting.
