King Street, Perth

King Street is one of the oldest streets in Perth. It was first recorded in 1840 on the maps of the Land Department under the name King William Street. The street was likely named after King William IV.

King Street is mostly known as a shopping destination along with two of the streets it crosses, Murray Street and Hay Street. King Street is primarily known as a spot for high-end, luxury goods. Shops on King Street include Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Tiffany & Company and many others.

The street retains its 19th century atmosphere with its cobbled streets and traditional building facades. Brick storefronts, arched windows and doors, wrought iron gates and globed street lamps give tourists a taste of what life might have been like in the earliest days of Perth.

King Street is listed with the Heritage Council of Western Australia due to its important place in the region's history.
