I had no idea the company was about to turn 350 years of age! What a feat, I've been to London once, but haven't visited that neck of the woods. Next time I'll make sure to correct that 'mistake'. Much appreciate your insight, cheers, Filip
Since 1819 Burlington Arcade in London has been patrolled by the Burlington Beadles, the oldest and smallest police force in the world. Dressed in a uniform of frock coats, gold buttons and gold-braided Lock & Co. top hats, the Beadles ensure no boisterou...
Especially if you like watches - some very nice watch shops along there. I've done my bank account on more than one occasion! The other arcade around the corner is equally dangerous Cheers JML Ps fab photo
I still like Savile Row too. Need to make it down there during sale time and go check out John Lobb, Crockett and Jones, and Gaziano and Girling (Savile Row). I have several pairs of John Lobb, but don't have any of the CJ nor GG shoes. Crockett and Jones...
And I hope to be there later this month. David Duggan, Somlo Antiques, the Vintage Watch Company, and those are only the watch shops. Shoes, Hats, cashmere sweaters, antique jewellery, this is a must for anyone visiting London!
Absolutely! Here’s a couple of my Lock & Co acquisitions - a Fairbanks Trilby and a sisal Napoli Hat. And today’s Madison Trilby With today’s watch. ...
I have a St. James Fedora from Lock & Co which I wear on occasion. It has a little too much brim for me unless I wear it with a top coat. I find it interesting that Fedoras and Trilbys have their name origins in stage plays - quite quirky! In 2 years time...

We have quite a few -- like 12 or so (50 or so if you count the ball caps) and we have played the dangerous arcade game too, both summer and winter seasons. Cazalea ...
I had no idea about the particularly quaint law enforcement gentry who traverse that street, but I do know a thing or two about quality fedoras as I have had one from Optimo Hats in Chicago for the past twelve years. Now, I haven't actually worn it a sing...
....albeit expensive at times. I remember purchasing a pair of Church's there... as well as a dining set of fine China from Gered's,unfortunately no longer there. One of my favourite stops in London, with Cecconi's at the back
When I stay at 128 Piccadilly it is only a single bus stop to the Arcade for a fun visit. Sadly, the perfumery was gone when I last visited. I did buy a vintage Omega for my son several years ago and recently scrutinised some vintage Rolexes, to no avail....
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience of the Burlington. It’s a place after many years of having the same shops is changing. Such is life !
