and you'll probably hear a different story.

Yes I know it’s not in London but it is close. One of the great
things about London is its proximity to everywhere. Stratford Upon Avon

a Mecca for Woody’s legions of fans and a great excuse to see some
green and pleasant land.
110 (-) Burlington Arcade
The sedate atmosphere of the Burlington Arcade is one of London’s
hidden treasures. Opened in 1819 Burlington Arcade was Britain’s
very first shopping arcade. At over 180m long Burlington is also the longest
covered shopping street in England. It is widely regarded as a historic
and architectural masterpiece and arguably still the most beautiful shopping
arcade in England.
The arcade consists of 40 shops selling clothing, footwear and accessories,
art, antiques but is most famous for its jewelry and antique silver. Needless
to say, the Burlington Arcade is a wonderful place to window shop.
