London at Christmas: festive arcades
Check out London's pretty, old-fashioned arcades this Christmas. You can find quite a few off Piccadilly, and other parts of Mayfair. Precursors to today's covered malls, these upmarket little shopping rows look properly Dickensian during the festive season. One of the oldest is the Burlington Arcade (opened 1819), but there's also the Prince's Arcade, Piccadilly Arcade (both early 20th century I believe) and nearby Royal Arcade to visit. (The Royal Arcade - off Albemarle St - houses the fabulous Charbonnel et Walker chocolatier too!)
