The Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping arcade in London that runs behind Bond Street from Piccadilly through to Burlington Gardens. It is one of the precursors of the mid-19th-century European shopping gallery and the modern shopping centre. The Burlington Arcade was built "for the sale of jewellery and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public".
The arcade was built to the order of Lord George Cavendish, younger brother of the 5th Duke of Devonshire, who had inherited the adjacent Burlington House, on what had been the side garden of the house and was reputedly to prevent passers-by throwing oyster shells and other rubbish over the wall of his home. His architect was Samuel Ware. The Arcade opened on 20th March 1819. It consisted of a single straight top-lit walkway lined with seventy-two small two storey units. Some of the units have now been combined, reducing the number of shops to around forty. The ponderous Piccadilly façade in a late version of Victorian Mannerism was added in the early 20th century.

BURLINGTON ARCADE FROM 17210 - to present LUXURY SHOPPING FOR ECCENTRICS WITH A TASTE FOR QUALITY. The current arcade was built in 1810 but The ARTIST & ECCENTRIC Duchess of Burlington & Cork - Dorothy Savile - first built an arcade with help from her chum the architect William KENT to keep her husband's slippers dry for Burlington House (Now The Royal Academy) then backed onto an oyster bar & the arcade was built over the cast off oyster shells to ensure visitors to their mansion didn't carry in the stench of oysters. It is stated in archives the rooms above the retail premises were reserved for brothels. The Burlington Boot Polisher (whom I can't recommend highly enough) is a wealth of knowledge & agreed with me that it is remiss that the arcade lacks a tribute to that Grand Dandiz...
