In what country would you find "The Strand Arcade", a covered shopping destination?

The Strand Arcade is a Victorian-style shopping arcade in Sydney, New South Wales. The Strand Arcade is located in the heart of the Sydney central business district, between Pitt Street Mall and George Street. The arcade was one of the first Victorian buildings in Sydney.

Designed by English architect John Spencer, The Strand was built in 1891 and opened on 1 April 1892, as the fifth and last of the arcades built in Sydney in the Victorian era. It is the only one remaining in its original form today. The arcade was to be 340 feet (or 104 meters) long, and three stories high.

The Arcade was originally known as the 'City Arcade' and sometimes as 'Arcade Street'. In 1891 it was named after the famous London Street that links the City of London and the City of Westminster. The Strand was London's smartest theater, hotel and shopping street in the early 1900's. The Nut Shop, which still operates today, opened in 1939.

The arcade became run down as time went by. Restoration work was carried out in the 1970's, but a fire broke out on the morning of 25 May 1976. The arcade was partly destroyed. Restoration began again and the arcade, now back to its original grandeur, re-opened in 1977.
