London Court
*** Please note that London Court is open between 5:00am - 9:00pm Mon - Sat, and 11:00am - 9:00pm Sundays ***
This virtual cache will take you to one of Perth's well know attractions in the heart of the CBD. London Court was built in 1937 for residential and commercial purposes. The arcade runs between the Hay Street Mall and St Georges Terrace and is considered an important tourist attraction in the City of Perth. It received a National Trust of Australia classification in 1978. The only walk in the world outside Britain that has captured a setting and atmosphere so similar to that of Tudor England.
At the decorative Hay Street Mall entrance, a blue-faced clock chimes every quarter of an hour. The clock face is a replica of the “Great Clock” at Rouen in France. Above the clock four knights, known as the “Tournament of Armoured Knights”, circle in the window when the clock chimes. A second clock is located at the St Georges Terrace entrance. This clock is a replica of the iconic “Big Ben” which stands tall above the Houses of Parliament in London. In a window above this clock is a miniature St George doing battle with the dragon.
Protected from the hustle and bustle of Perth’s busy St Georges Terrace and contrasting with the modern day mall-ways weaving through other parts of the City, London Court is one of the world’s architectural treasures. It is a very special place for anyone who has ever visited Perth and wandered their way past the small shop windows, peered from the balconies or been enchanted by the musical drama unfolding upon the hour.
