Piccadilly Street is a street in the City of Westminster between Hyde Park Corner and Piccadilly Circus. Historically many important houses and buildings have been built along Piccadilly, and it's currently regarded as one of London's shopping streets. In Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street" (1923), Mrs. Dalloway ends up here as she walks to Bond Street: "The air stirred with energy. Messages were passing from the Fleet to the Admiralty. Piccadilly and Arlington Street and the Mall seemed to chafe the very air in the Park and lift its leaves hotly, brilliantly, upon waves of that divine vitality which Clarissa loved."
"But how Jack would have shouted! Quoting Shelley, in Piccadilly!"
