Enter The Strand at 412 George Street and after walking approximately 100 metres exit 191 Pitt Street, Sydney. But within that 100 pass through a bit of Sydney shopping history. The Strand is the only remaining example of Victorian shopping architecture. Built in 1891 it was the fifth and last arcade built in this style.

The Arcade survived two depressions, one in the 1890's and the other in the 1930's and was threatened by fires in 1976 and 1980.

The Arcade houses over 75 speciality stores and numerous offices over three levels with Jewelry, Accessory & Gift Shops and Women's Fashion making up the lions share.

If you are interested in Shopping while enjoying the old world charm of the surrounds, then you will also enjoy visiting the Queen Victoria Building
