Chapter 149: The Mall
Burlington Arcade Travelogue
When people travel to London, they always go to famous places such as the London Eye and Tower Bridge, and when it comes to shopping, the first thing that comes to people's minds must be Oxford Street, Harrods and other shopping paradises that often appear in the news media. In this travelogue, I would like to introduce you to Burlington Arcade, a shopping arcade with a long history but little known about it.
Burlington Arcade, located in a covered shopping gallery in London, located behind Pound Street, from Piccadilly Street to Burlington Garden, was one of the pioneers of European shopping galleries and modern shopping malls in the mid-19th century. With a variety of clothing stores, footwear and accessories stores, art and antique dealers, jewellers, etc., it is an obvious favorite shopping destination. Moss, Prince Harry, Bill Clinton, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Angelina Jolie, Lady Gaga and many more are the stars who are the vane of fashion, decorating this shopping mecca with a deep heritage.
According to legend, the most accepted version, the nobleman loved his wife so much that he feared that she would be bored at home, so he built a shopping mall for his wife to chat with her friends and have fun. It is quite a sense of spending a lot of money for a smile. It's romantic, isn't it? Perhaps it is because Burlington Arcade has preserved aristocratic traditions that it has the tranquility and elegance that makes visitors feel comfortable here.
Coming out of the Green Park subway station, I set out to explore this mysterious shopping arcade. As soon as I stepped into the Burlington Arcade, walked down the elegant red carpet, and looked at the Victorian-style wood-paneled shops on either side, I was struck by the grandeur and luxury of the place.
Along the way, it's all about luxury brands: CHANEL, Susannah Lovis, Harrys of London, Bell & Ross...... Here, you can find more than 40 design brands from all over the world, luxury, fashion, jewelry, watches, backpacks, clothing, everything. With everything from whimsical boutique designs to heirloom precious antique jewelry, this is the perfect place to look for something unique. Even some combinations of famous designers and independent special boutiques can only be found here.
Then I walked into a shop: Susannah Lovis, and you could stand and watch for hours at the window of Susannah Lovis, an antique jeweler in the Arcade in Burlington. These beautiful pieces perfectly reflect the ambiance of Burlington's Arcade, and as you can imagine, the jewelry worn or bought by people who have walked here for hundreds of years may be on sale in the store today. Founded for more than 15 years, Susannah Lovis has been providing extremely personal and understated customer service to discerning jewelry lovers. They presented a beautiful collection of antique jewelry for StyleTV. In addition to the luxury of the place, I also developed a strong sense of history. Maybe it's because of the sheriffs in tuxedos and top hats, maybe it's because of the elegant and beautiful girls in dance dresses, maybe it's because of the mix of baroque and neoclassical architecture, I can even imagine the opulence and elegance of this place 200 years ago.
After a cursory turnaround, I decided to stop at the café for a cup of coffee and a quiet afternoon in anticipation of Laduree's macarons and olseley Grand Modern European Brasserie's authentic British feast. This is my day at Burlington Arcade, are you also a little excited?
