London Court attracts local and international visitors with its friendly, inviting atmosphere and unique architectural style making it superbly different to the sky scapers it is nestled under in the City of Perth. The only walk in the world outside Britain that has captured a setting and atmosphere so similar to that of Tudor England, London Court is a retail walkway running between Hay Street Mall and Saint Georges Terrace in the heart of Perth.

Built in 1937 as a combination of residential and commercial premises for a wealthy gold miner and financier Claude de Bernales, Perth's London Court is designed using the architectural features present in Elizabethan times.

At the decorative Hay Street Mall entrance, a blue faced clock chimes every quarter of an hour. The clock face is a replica of one of the dials in the clock tower that houses Big Ben in London. To the left of the clock, near one of the turrets, visitors can see the name of the Court's plasterer engraved into the plasterwork. Above the clock four knights, know as 'Tournament of Armoured Knights', circle in the window when the clock chimes. Another clock is located at the St Georges Terrace entrance. Above this clock, in a window, is a minature St George doing battle with the dragon. Both the clocks are replicas of the 'Great Clock' of Rouen, France.

Although the designers intended to create a structure that would be reminiscent of British taste, as you take a walk through London Court you feel a sense of France and Southern Spain too. Best of all, this open roofed Court is bathed in the glorious Western Australian sun under a vivid blue sky. Protected from the hustle and bustle of Perth's busy Saint 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.

The many shops and cafes located within London Court, provide visitors with warm, old fashioned friendly service while they enjoy the curious surrounds and features of this open air Court in the heart of the City of Perth.
