Royal Opera Arcade
Haymarket/Pall Mall, London SW1

The Royal Opera Arcade, completed in 1818, was London's first shopping arcade beating the Burlington Arcade by a year or so. 

Designed by John Nash, the Prince Regent's favourite, the arcade was built behind the Haymarket Opera House, now called Her Majesty's Theatre.  

The arcade, a haven away from the traffic of central London, is noted for its luxury items and wide range of goods for traditional country living.  

Farlows, at the Pall Mall side of the arcade, sells fishing tackle, shooting equipment and the essential Hunters' green Wellington boots.
