Why locals recommend it
If you love novelist P.G. Wodehouse’s descriptions of 1920s and ’30s London, you’ll find it alive in the arcade between Piccadilly and Bond Street. It’s the quintessence of Englishness, glitzy and luxurious, and it features in Wodehouse’s Jeeves novels. One character goes there to buy socks as a potential cure for a broken heart. Though this arcade, with its perfume shops, jewellers, and designer clothing stores is an elegant place to wander, be warned: Prices are extortionate!
