Campbell Arcade

  • Landmark
  • Arcade

Campbell Arcade and the Degraves Street Underpass has reopened after the construction of the Metro Tunnel Project.

Dating from 1956, Campbell Arcade connects Degraves Street with Flinders Street Station and over the years has been home to a unique mix of independent retail stores, coffee shops and public art displays.

The newly-opened arcade has allowed many of the heritage features of Campbell Arcade to be retained, including the 1950s curved tile walls, granite columns and display windows.
