King Street in Perth's West End reigns as the western capital's most elite shopping street.

Beautiful historic buildings and an appealing intimacy make King Street the most exclusive shopping destination in Perth. Named after William IV, King Street (and cross-street St Georges Terrace) has many impressive office buildings and warehouses, mostly built during the goldrush days of the 1890s. The current mining boom has seen the arrival of luxury brands, with Tiffany & Co and Bally the latest upmarket additions to the blend of shops and eateries.

  • Love in Tokyo at 90 King Street near Wellington Street and Varga Girl on the corner of Murray and King Streets are also worth a look for WA and other Australian designer labels for women.
  • Coffee and cake at 44 King street is the most delicious experience.Staff and service are friendly and helpful and it was a real find for us on our quick trip to Perth. We went back for breakfast which was even better
