An arcade with its own private police force and a two-hundred-year ban on whistling does not lend itself to a rushed arrival. A Burlington Arcade chauffeur drops you at whichever end suits your visit, and waits without needing to circle Piccadilly looking for a gap in traffic.

Lord George Cavendish opened Burlington Arcade in March 1819 largely to stop passers-by throwing oyster shells and other rubbish over the wall into his garden at Burlington House, now home to the Royal Academy next door. What began as a nuisance solution became one of Britain’s earliest covered shopping arcades.
Cavendish recruited the arcade’s Beadles from his own regiment, veterans of the Battle of Waterloo, creating what remains the world’s oldest and smallest private police force. Their ban on whistling, dating from when it warned pickpockets of approaching patrols, is still enforced today, with one famous, well-documented exception: Sir Paul McCartney.
Moving between Burlington Arcade’s jewellers and St James’s traditional outfitters on foot, with bags in hand, is not the best way to enjoy this historic corner of London. Choosing a dedicated Burlington Arcade chauffeur service means a single call brings your car back to wherever you are, with space for everything you have bought.
Piccadilly and the surrounding St James’s streets sit inside the Transport for London Congestion Charge zone, and self-driving shoppers often circle for parking far longer than the shopping itself takes. Our Burlington Arcade chauffeur service handles the charge, the route and the parking, so you simply step out at the door.
Jewellery boxes, tailored shirts and bespoke purchases travel securely in the boot rather than across a busy pavement between stores. Your Burlington Arcade chauffeur loads and unloads every item personally, so nothing is left behind between one boutique and the next.
We have refined our logistics so that a shopping trip around Burlington Arcade and St James’s runs on your schedule, not a taxi rank’s.
Your journey begins with a punctual arrival at your home, office or hotel. Your chauffeur drives you directly to Piccadilly, avoiding the walk from public transport.
Book your chauffeur to wait nearby, or call for a pickup once you are ready to move from the Arcade to Jermyn Street or St James's Street. Either way, your car is back within minutes.
