The Bell Tower is also one of the main tourist attractions in Perth, situated at the Barrack St Jetty. The name took from the Swan River, which the tower overlooks, and forming a 16 bell peal with 2 extra chromatic notes, they are one of the largest sets of change ringing bells in the world.

The St-Martin-in-the-Fields Bells were gifted to the people of WA to commemorate Australia's bicentenary in 1988. Mr Laith Reynolds was the one who saved the St-Martin-in-the-Fields Bells from being melted down to form new ones, as they had become too heavy for the ancient foundations of the church in Trafalgar Square, London. And hence, he campaigned to have a specially built tower in Perth to bring them to life for the Western Australians.

London Court
London Court is built in 1937, a combination of residential and commercial premises for a wealthy gold miner and financier Claude de Bernales. The London Court is designed using the architectural features present in Elizabethan times.

The only walk in the world outside Britain which has captured a setting and atmosphere that is so similar to Tudor England. It is now a retail walkway running between Hay St Mall and St Georges Terrace in Perth CBD.
