'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 crowded with popular outdoor dining cafes in a number of pre-war buildings, with a large record store located in underground basements.
It is accessible to pedestrians only.
The lane joins with the heritage Block Arcade, a 19th century covered shopping arcade. Block Arcade and Block Place form a T-shape running from Little Collins Street through to Collins Street and Elizabeth Street.
Royal Arcade is just across Little Collins and connects through to Bourke Street.
