Designed to mirror the architectural style of Elizabethan England, this open-air arcade transports visitors to a bygone era, making it a distinctive landmark in the city's bustling central business district.

Built in 1937 by wealthy gold financier Claude de Bernales, London Court was conceived as a slice of Tudor England amidst the Australian landscape. The shopping destination is renowned for its ornate façades, complete with half-timbered structures, gabled roofs, and the iconic St. George's Terrace entrance, featuring statues of Sir Walter Raleigh and Dick Whittington's Cat. These elements combine to create a picturesque streetscape that stands out in the modern city.

London Court is more than just a visual delight. It is a vibrant hub of commerce, housing a variety of specialty shops, boutique stores, and quaint cafes. From jewelry and antiques to souvenirs and fashion, the centre caters to a diverse array of shopping preferences. The arcade's unique atmosphere makes it a popular spot for both locals and tourists seeking a leisurely shopping experience or a quiet coffee in a setting that feels worlds away from the contemporary city outside.

The court runs between Hay Street and St. George's Terrace, two of Perth's central thoroughfares, making it easily accessible for those exploring the city. It is a slice of European history in the heart of Perth, and it operates all year round, inviting visitors to stroll its cobblestone walkways, admire the intricate detailing of its shop fronts, and bask in the charm of its Elizabethan aesthetic.
