The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening.
ði ɪksˈpɛnsɪv ʃɒps ɪn ə ˈfeɪməs ɑːˈkeɪd nɪə ˌpɪkəˈdɪli wɜː ʤʌst ˈəʊpnɪŋ.
At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty.
æt ðɪs taɪm ɒv ðə ˈmɔːnɪŋ, ði ɑːˈkeɪd wɒz ˈɔːlməʊst ˈɛmpti.
Mr. Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display.
Mr. ˈteɪlə, ði ˈəʊnər ɒv ə ˈʤuːəlri ʃɒp wɒz ədˈmaɪərɪŋ ə njuː ˈwɪndəʊ dɪsˈpleɪ.
Two of his assistants had been working busily since eight o'clock and had only just finished.
tuː ɒv hɪz əˈsɪstənts hæd biːn ˈwɜːkɪŋ ˈbɪzɪli sɪns eɪt əˈklɒk ænd hæd ˈəʊnli ʤʌst ˈfɪnɪʃt.
Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet.

After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr. Taylor went back into his shop.
ɑːftə ˈgeɪzɪŋ æt ðə dɪsˈpleɪ fɔː ˈsɛvrəl ˈmɪnɪts, Mr. ˈteɪlə wɛnt bæk ˈɪntuː hɪz ʃɒp.
The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade.
ðə ˈsaɪləns wɒz ˈsʌdnli ˈbrəʊkən wɛn ə lɑːʤ kɑː, wɪð ɪts ˈhɛdlaɪts ɒn ænd ɪts hɔːn ˈbleərɪŋ, rɔːd daʊn ði ɑːˈkeɪd.
It came to a stop outside the jeweller's.
ɪt keɪm tuː ə stɒp ˌaʊtˈsaɪd ðə ˈʤuːələz.
One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars.
wʌn mæn steɪd æt ðə wiːl waɪl tuː ˈʌðəz wɪð blæk ˈstɒkɪŋz ˈəʊvə ðeə ˈfeɪsɪz ʤʌmpt aʊt ænd smæʃt ðə ˈwɪndəʊ ɒv ðə ʃɒp wɪð ˈaɪən bɑːz.
