Rundle Mall is a pedestrian street mall located in Adelaide, South Australia. It was opened as a pedestrian mall in September 1976 by closing the section of Rundle Street between King William Street and Pulteney Street, to vehicular traffic.[2] The street continues as Rundle Street (as before) to the east and Hindley Street to the west.
At 520 m (1,710 ft) long, with over 1000 retail outlets, 300 services, 3 department stores, and 15 arcades, Rundle Mall is the longest and largest mall in the southern hemisphere.[3] The mall is the centrepiece of Adelaide's city centre, and home to some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the state. It is also home to flagship retail stores of many large Australian retailers, luxury brands, and smaller independent retail and chain stores. It also features a number of arcades and plazas containing smaller boutiques and eateries. These include the Italianate-style Adelaide Arcade, Regent Arcade, Gay's Arcade, City Cross, Southern Cross, Adelaide Central Plaza, Myer Centre, Renaissance Arcade, and Rundle Place.
There are often buskers performing in the mall, licensed by the Adelaide City Council.
