Jeeves Wooster location?

A question for Londoners (or whoever may know the answer). I was wondering if the shopping arcade where Bertie tries to get the cow creamer for Uncle Tom (and prevent SIr Watkyn Basset from getting) in episode 2.1 of J & W is Burlington Arcade. I'm going to London in two weeks' time and I was curious.

And does anyone know where is the house they used as a location for Bertie's house in the series? I don't think it will actually be 3A Berkeley Mansions now, will it?

Anyway, if you should know of any other locations in London, I would be really grateful.
Thanks!

Burlington Arcade is off Piccadilly, like the other poster said. You might be disappointed though - it's for the kind of well-heeled but gullible tourist who still thinks Burberry is "in". No Londoner I know ever goes there.

Burlington Arcade &c

Thanks, I didn't really intend to buy anything there, I was just curious if it had been used as a filming location for the series, and as a nice building, just that.I've been in London before, but had never really paid much attention to it.

If you are really interested, the building they used for the exterior shots of Bertie's apartment in New York is actually Senate House - its just a block north of the British Museum, and is part of the University of London 'campus'. It gets used quite frequently as a filming location.
Enjoy your visit to Blighty!
