London Court
London Court between Hay Street Mall and St Georges Terrace is not as old as it is intended to appear. This arcade dates from the 1930s, but resembles a part of Tudor London. There are clocks at each end with hourly jousting tournaments and interesting little shops within. Walk through the Court to St. Georges Terrace and turn left, and then left again up Barrack Street.
