Charming London Court of Perth’s CBD

#favouriteitinerary London Court is a charming, historic shopping arcade in the heart of Perth’s CBD, perfect for a quick but memorable stop on your city tour! Built in 1937, it’s designed in a Tudor style, giving off strong medieval London vibes with its half-timbered facades, statues of knights, and ornate details.

Here’s how to explore it:

What to Do at London Court
• Admire the architecture: The arcade is lined with quirky details — look out for the statues of Sir Walter Raleigh and Dick Whittington at the entrances.
• Boutique shopping: You’ll find a mix of shops, from souvenir stores selling opals and Australian trinkets to antique jewelry and specialty gift shops.
• Hidden gems: Check out Roc Candy for handmade rock candy — you can sometimes watch them make it in-store!
• Photo spots: The old-world architecture makes for fantastic photo ops — especially the clock faces at both ends of the arcade, which chime every 15 minutes, with mechanical knights coming to life.
