The Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping arcade in London that runs behind Bond Street from Piccadilly through to Burlington Gardens. It is one of the precursors of the mid-19th-century European shopping gallery and the modern shopping centre. The Burlington Arcade was built "for the sale of jewellery and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public".
The arcade was built to the order of Lord George Cavendish, younger brother of the 5th Duke of Devonshire, who had inherited the adjacent Burlington House, on what had been the side garden of the house and was reputedly to prevent passers-by throwing oyster shells and other rubbish over the wall of his home. The Arcade opened in 1819. It consisted of a single straight top-lit walkway lined with seventy-two small two storey units.
This image is part of a series I am working on to show the extreme wealth of this part of London.

The Arcade Building was built in 1898 as Jamestown's premier shopping destination, modeled on the Cleveland Arcade and Daniel Burnham's Rookery in Chicago. The building is right next to the railroad tracks and the old railroad station. Fires in the 1920s and 1950s shortened the portion to the right by two floors. The windows are blown out because of another fire that happened just three days before I visited. A quick response from local firefighters saved the building and the local community is trying to get state money to renovate the building as part of a downtown stabilization program.

The bustling 'Sanderson Arcade' in the Northumberland market town of Morpeth, opened by Joanna Lumley OBE in 2009.
It's a really pleasant retail area that includes a number of well-known high street names, independents and an M&S.
I didn't spot any empty units on my visit, indeed the town as a whole appears to be doing well with a really good amount of footfall. I am sure that all the car parks offering free 3-hour disc parking helps (it's certainly one of the reasons I like to visit).
The old Woodruff Arcade shopping center in Chicago's edgewater. It was the last of the skylight corridors for a building with retail and commerical stores.

An arcade in Turin lit by some lovely early evening sunshine.
From looking at photos before I visited Turin I knew there were arcades such as this but the city turned out to be much grander than expected and whole areas of the city were lined with them.

From Wikipedia : "Turin (Italian: Torino) is a city and an important business and cultural centre in northern Italy. It is the capital city of the Metropolitan City of Turin (an administrative division of Italy) and of the Piedmont region, and was the first capital city of Italy from 1861 to 1865. The city is located mainly on the western bank of the Po River, in front of Susa Valley, and is surrounded by the western Alpine arch and Superga Hill. The population of the city proper is 878,074 (31 July 2018) while the population of the urban area is estimated by Eurostat to be 1.7 million inhabitants. The Turin metropolitan area is estimated by the OECD to have a population of 2.2 million.
The city has a rich culture and history, being known for its numerous art galleries, restaurants, churches, palaces, opera houses, piazzas, parks, gardens, theatres, libraries, museums and other venues. Turin is well known for its Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-classical, and Art Nouveau architecture. Many of Turin's public squares, castles, gardens and elegant palazzi such as the Palazzo Madama, were built between the 16th and 18th centuries. A part of the historical center of Turin was inscribed in the World Heritage List under the name Residences of the Royal House of Savoy."

A photo from a quick walk through the Burlington Arcade. Despite having costumed security guards at each end I wasn't hassled for having a DSLR around my neck.

From Wikipedia, "Burlington Arcade is a covered shopping arcade in London, England, United Kingdom. It is 196 yards (179 m) long, parallel to and east of Bond Street from Piccadilly through to Burlington Gardens. It is one of the precursors of the mid-19th-century European shopping gallery and the modern shopping mall. It is near the similar Piccadilly Arcade.
The arcade was built in 1818 to the order of George Cavendish, 1st Earl of Burlington, younger brother of William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire, who had inherited the adjacent Burlington House, on what had been the side garden of the house and was reputedly to prevent passers-by throwing oyster shells and other rubbish over the wall of his home. It was designed by architect Samuel Ware. Burlington Arcade was built "for the sale of jewellery and fancy articles of fashionable demand, for the gratification of the public". However, it was also said to have been built so that the Lord's wife could shop safely amongst other genteel ladies and gentleman away from the busy, dirty, and crime-ridden open streets of London."

We have a contest at zbudujmy.to - "Złote Study", Golden Studs in english). There is one category whose winner is determined by voters and well, I got a tie with Jerac.
To resolve the tie, us both have to build something in two weeks, to the theme picked by our community.
The theme was... 80ties!
So here's my 80's Arcade.
This photo was taken at the end of the day in the small coastal town of Tavira. In the central square of Tavira, there are those arcades under which a man seemed to wait without hope that someone comes to stand at his stand.
The Westminster Arcade, also known as the Providence Arcade, was completed in 1828. It is considered by some to be the first enclosed shopping mall in the US. It is a National Historic Landmark.
The Arcade Restaurant located in downtown Memphis, TN. Just a few blocks from Beale St. The Arcade was created and built by Speros Zepatos in 1919.
