Shopping arcade. 1818-19 by Samuel Ware, the Piccadilly elevation 1st floor loggia added by Beresford Pike in 1911 and Ware's triple arched entrance altered by same architect in 1931. Burlington Gardens elevation replaced in 1937. The arcade roof is supported by arches carrying a tent-like ceiling with glazed roof-lights, the arches dividing the arcade into bays of 2 shops articulated by projecting and recessed display windows with entablatures and tripartite sashed lights to 1st floor. To Piccadilly Beresford Pike added the stone faced 1st floor arcaded loggia with parapet and then rebuilt the large camber arched entrance in an Edwardian-Baroque manner in 1931. To Burlington Gardens, Ware's elevation was replaced by the present plain Portland stone faced parapeted front (with Lord Chesham's coat of arms) over a camber arched opening on low pylons, by E. Bates and W. G. Sinning. Badly damaged in 1940, the Arcade was restored in 1954.
