Royal Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade in Westminster, United Kingdom
Royal Arcade is a covered shopping passage in Westminster with a glass roof and ornately decorated interior spaces. The passage connects two streets and houses boutiques and specialty shops along its full length, retaining historic architectural details throughout.
The arcade was built during a period of rapid commercial expansion in London when covered shopping passages created a new retail experience. This development shaped the city's shopping culture significantly.
The Grade II listed building maintains its original Victorian architectural elements, including detailed cornices, arched windows, and decorative metalwork.
The passage sits centrally between two main streets and is easily reached on foot. Several underground stations are within short walking distance for convenient access.
The passage preserves its Victorian craftsmanship with elaborate ornaments and details typical of shopping arcades from that era. Visitors can observe these finely worked elements while walking through.
