Little Collins Street runs roughly from east to west and it bisects the CBD (known as the
Hoddle Grid) along its long axis. Little Collins Street runs between the
parallel Collins Street and
Bourke Street streets. The street has some notable buildings, including the CH2 (
Council House 2 - the world's first Six star rating environmentally friendly building), Victoria Hotel, City of Melbourne buildings and
ANZ Bank World Headquarters. On the corner of Little Collins Street and
King Street is the city's first and only school,
Melbourne City School, housed in a three-story bluestone heritage building. At the western end is
Bank Place, a significant old lane which provides pedestrian access to Collins Street between
Queen and
William streets. The block between Queen and William Streets has a large number of weekday cafes. The section between
Swanston Street and
Elizabeth Street adjoins several lanes and arcades, with an extensive array of shops and cafes. ==Shopping==
