Info

The Swiss Centre was a popular tourist attraction on the edge of Coventry Street, London, at its junction with Leicester Square. It featured a bank, tourist office, a chocolate and souvenir shop, a Swissair ticket office, cafe and several Swiss themed restaurants which were located in the basement.
It was designed by David Aberdeen and built by John Laing & Son between 1963 and 1966. It was demolished in 2008, except for the clock which was moved to Leicester Square three years later.
Since 2011, the site has been occupied by M&M's World.
In November 2011, the glockenspiel, redesigned and restored by the clockmakers Smith of Derby was returned to Swiss Court, very close its original location.
