This is a hidden little gem of a street. It has a very exclusive and upper class feel with a wonderful selection of shops. From a large Apple store to Wok kitchen shop, you will be lost in the shops for hours. There are lots of unique and Dutch items to be found in this Passage along with a great place to get a coffee or a bite to eat. Would definitely recommend heading here if you want to get away from the usual high street shops.
