The Bank of New Zealand shopping centre is like a vein that connects Wellington's central arteries - the cultural Civic Square and shopping miles Lambton and Customhouse Quay. It is fast becoming a natural thoroughfare with growing foot traffic attracting new entrants as a result of the opening of the Old Bank Arcade. Downstairs, and sheltered from the elements, you will find an inexpensive food hall with every thing from fish and chips to sushi and spicy Thai food, menswear stores, a pharmacy, bookshop, hairstylists and more.
