117-125 Nam Cheong Street, Grade III historic building in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong.

117-125 Nam Cheong Street is a row of five pre-war tong lau in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong, listed as Grade III historic buildings. The buildings differ in height: No. 117 has five storeys, Nos. 119 and 121 have three storeys plus an attic, and Nos. 123 and 125 have four storeys. No. 117, the Nam Cheong Pawn Shop, has a covered arcade with two pillars crossing the pavement and round porthole windows on each floor.

The five tong lau were built at different times: No. 117 in the 1920s, Nos. 119 and 121 in 1933, and Nos. 123 and 125 in the 1930s. No. 117 opened as the Tong An Pawnshop at the corner of Nam Cheong Street and Yu Chau Street, run by the Ko Ho-ning family, and was renamed Nam Cheong Pawnshop in the 1950s. In 2010 Nos. 119 and 121 sold for HK$73.8 million, and the row was downgraded from Grade II to Grade III.

Number 117 has been a pawnshop since the 1920s, opened as Tong An Pawnshop by the Ko Ho-ning family and renamed Nam Cheong Pawnshop in the 1950s. Its name and a round porthole appear on every floor, and neon signs hang on both street corners. Numbers 123 and 125 keep traces of signboards from the Tak Hing teahouse and Ngan Lung restaurant.

The row stands at the junction of Nam Cheong Street and Yu Chau Street, near Sham Shui Po MTR station and the Nam Cheong Street Rest Garden. The ground floors are shops, so the arcade of pillars at No. 117 is best seen during business hours. In January 2023 the Buildings Department ordered the neon signs removed within 60 days.

This row is the largest surviving group of tong lau in Sham Shui Po, which makes it stand out in a district that has changed a great deal in recent decades. At least one of the buildings still holds original fittings from its time as a pawnshop in the 1920s.
