Woo Cheong Pawn Shop, Grade II historic building in Wan Chai District, Hong Kong.

Woo Cheong Pawn Shop is a four-story beige tong lau building in Wan Chai featuring large French windows, green doors, and continuous pedestrian arcades sheltered by overhanging balconies. The structure combines street-level retail spaces with upper-floor residential quarters, all unified by cohesive architectural detailing.

The four connected tong lau at 60–66 Johnston Road were built between 1888 and the 1900s on land reclaimed before 1887. The pawnshop that gave the row its name operated from No. 66; the building was renovated in 1948. In 2003 the Urban Renewal Authority bought the row for over HK$25 million, and a HK$15 million restoration completed in 2007 converted it to shops and restaurants.

The building displays typical tong lau shophouse architecture with retail spaces below and living quarters above, reflecting how neighborhoods were organized in colonial-era Hong Kong. The green doors and original signage remind visitors of when people came here to pawn their valuables.

Located on Johnston Road in Wan Chai, the building is easily accessible on foot, especially through the street-level arcades that provide shelter as you walk. Daytime visits work best when the ground-floor spaces are actively in use and fully accessible to the public.

The rooftop of Woo Cheong Pawn Shop is a privately owned public open space, open to visitors from 11:00 to 23:00, but closed during private events, bad weather or maintenance. In 2012, police were called when people ate there, prompting debate about public space rules in Hong Kong.
