The Strand Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade in Sydney Central Business District, Australia

The Strand Arcade is a three-level shopping center spanning 104 meters (341 feet) between Pitt Street Mall and George Street, topped with a glass roof. The space houses around 65 retail stores distributed across the floors.

Designed by English architect John Spencer with Charles E. Fairfax assisting, the arcade was built by Bignell and Clark and opened on 1 April 1892 as the fifth and last Victorian arcade in Sydney. A 1976 fire damaged the George Street end; the 1976–78 restoration by Prudential Assurance copied the golden cast-iron balustrades and reproduced the hand-carved cedar posts.

The center showcases traditional craftsmanship through specialty shops like The Nut Shop, which opened in 1939, and several long-standing jewelers that draw both locals and visitors daily.

The arcade is centrally located and easily reached by public transportation, with entrances on both street sides for flexible navigation. Visitors should note that narrow passages and stairs between levels may limit access for those with mobility challenges.

The glass roof was designed to cut glare for the photographic studios that once occupied the upper levels. The concourse was lit by chandeliers hung from the roof trusses, each holding fifty gas and fifty electric lamps, and some fittings designed by the architect survive.
