The Royal Victoria Arcade, Grade II* listed shopping arcade in Ryde, Great Britain.

The Royal Victoria Arcade spans three floors with a 12-foot wide avenue and features a dome rotunda decorated with Doric pilasters.

Built between 1835 and 1836 for apothecary William Houghton Banks at a cost of £10,000, the arcade was named after Princess Victoria.

The arcade holds monthly Antiques & Collectables Fairs and Vintage & Retro Fairs, bringing together dealers and collectors from across the region.

The building contains fourteen retail spaces, ranging from 13 by 8 feet to 30 feet of storefront, plus an underground museum for visitors.

A 17 by 11 foot ice well in the basement once stored ice imported from North America and Norway for local distribution.
