The First phase of the Piccadilly Arcade reopening was unveiled this week, with patrons able to see for themselves the elegant, Art Deco vibes that have made the arcade so unique since its grand opening in 1938.

 

 

This is the arcade’s second major renovation (the first was in 1983) which sees new life breathed into the iconic Art Deco facade including the clean lines, monochrome colours, brass and mirrors that we so love from the era.  The famed Piccadilly Theatre is also undergoing a massive renovation and will be transformed into a live-events venue set to open in 2022.

 

To celebrate phase one of reopening, Piccadilly Arcade is hosting a range of workshops hosted by local creative businesses.
