About this audio guide
This guide to London Court in Perth traces the appetite Claude de Bernales built into a Tudor-fantasy shopping arcade he raised out of a scruffy laneway called Gun Alley in nineteen thirty-seven. It follows the free cigarettes, x-ray photographs, and three-day fayre that drew thousands through the gates on opening day, and the basement tavern that kept the arcade's appetite going with weddings and Bastille Day parties for years afterward. Stand beneath the Hay Street clock to watch the jousting knights circle out on the hour.
