The Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping arcade in London. It was built for the sale of jewellery and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public. Opened in 1819. It consisted of a single straight top-lit walkway lined with seventy-two small two storey units. The pedestrian arcade, with smart uniform shop fronts under a glazed roof, has always been an upmarket retail location. It is patrolled by Burlington Arcade Beadles in traditional uniforms including top hats and tailcoats.
The Burlington Arcade was the successful prototype for larger glazed shopping arcades, beginning with the Saint-Hubert Gallery in Brussels and The Passage in St Petersburg, the first of Europe's grand arcades, to the Galleria Umberto I in Naples or the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
