Block Place looking south from Little Collins

Block Place is a street in Melbourne, Victoria. It is a short, narrow partially covered laneway, running south from Little Collins Street between Swanston Street and Elizabeth Street in the central business district of Melbourne.

Located in the heart of the shopping precinct, Block Place is currently flanked by a number of popular outdoor dining cafes loacted in a number of pre-war buildings, with a large record store located in underground basements.

The lane joins with the heritage Block Arcade, a 19th century covered shopping arcade which, along with Block Place, forms a T shape running through to both Collins Street and Elizabeth Street.
