This walkway has eight vaults on each side, and the entrance design was inspired by the Victorian passion for Egyptology. Apart from the lotus columns and two crumbling obelisks nearby it doesn't look particularly Egyptian to me, but the Victorians certainly got the references.
The trees are so thick overhead that the avenue feels more like a tunnel, and it actually did used to have a roof. Apparently the resulting gloominess discouraged sales so it was removed, but the trees are doing their best to act as a replacement.
