This short pedestrian street in central Christchurch is lined with pastel-coloured buildings in a unified Spanish Mission style, built in the early 1930s and considered one of the country's most charming shopping precincts. Restored after earthquake damage, it now hosts cafes, boutiques and galleries, with the city's heritage tram running down its centre. The consistent architecture and colourful facades make it a distinctive slice of interwar design. It remains a popular spot for dining and strolling.
