London Court: Perth shopping arcade that's a mix of Tudor Gothic and art deco...


A must-see sight

Due to its idiosyncratic design, the building has barely appeared to age in the past 80 years.

Only the names of the shops and the fashions of people in the street have changed in photographs over the years.

In 2017 London Court underwent a major renovation.

London Court, Perth, Western Australia, 1960

London Court looked very much the same in the 1960s as it does now,

London Court from above

London Court was built by an Englishman named Claude de Bernales, who had emigrated to Western Australia in 1897 to chase his fortune on the goldfields.

Yes, last time in 2015 when we were over in the west. Pretty sure we had a look too in the early 1980's. A long time between visits.

 Way back in 68 when I first went through this Arcade, I thought I had really stepped back in time,

I was a much younger kiwi then, but the place is still the same today.   biggrin
