The Strand Arcade

Located in the heart of Sydney’s Central Business District, between George Street and the Pitt Street Mall, the Strand Arcade is a Victorian-style shopping center that houses specialty stores catering to a sophisticated clientele, as well as Australian designer labels such as Alannah Hill, Alex Perry, Jayson Brunsdon and Fleur Wood.

The Strand, which is named after a shopping street in London that was famous in the early 1900s, was designed by the English architect John Spencer and opened in 1892. It was the fifth and last shopping arcade built in Sydney during the Victorian era, and is the only one remaining in its original form.
