A section of Piccadilly overlooks Green Park. The name is derived from the name of the stiff collars for shirts, known as Piccadills. One such merchant in the 1600's was so successful that he bought an area of land and built himself a huge residence on the land which he called Piccadilly Hall.
Piccadilly was the elite area chosen for many famous buildings such as Clarendon House, Burlington House, Devonshire House, Apsley House, and many more. Several members of the Rothschild family had their residences on Piccadilly, called Rothschild Row but these are now gone or converted to other uses.
There are few shops and stores on Piccadilly, but it remains home to Fortnum and Mason, long time favourite grocery store of the Royal Family and purveryors of other fine goods. Piccadilly is also home to The Ritz Hotel, which almost defines the word decadence, The Piccadilly Hotel, the Piccadilly Thistle Hotel, well known office groups and some very expensive apartments.
