QV CENTRE

Queen Victoria Village, generally known as QV Centre or just QV, is a precinct in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Covering the city block bounded by Lonsdale, Little Lonsdale, Swanston, and Russell Streets, and located directly opposite the State Library of Victoria and Melbourne Central, QV comprises a large shopping centre, a central plaza, an underground food court, Melbourne central city's first full-size supermarket, apartment buildings, and the global headquarters of BHP Billiton. Queen Victoria Village takes its name from the Queen Victoria Hospital, Melbourne which formerly occupied the site.


Reflected in the glass windows of the Centre one may se the cone of the Shot Tower of Melbourne Central. A couple  of A Z3-class trams can be seen in Swanston Street.
