Mount Lawley was named in honour of Sir Arthur Lawley, the Governor of Western Australia from May 1901 to August 1902. Mount Lawley was built on land surveyed between 1833 and 1839 and granted to William Layton and John Gregory. The area became renowned as a stopping place for travellers in the 1830s, when Gregory established the Pineapple Inn.

​

Mount Lawley is largely characterised by Federation and Colonial style dwellings with isolated examples of English vernacular revival, art-deco and Californian bungalow styles.

​

Lively Mount Lawley is now known for hip dining and nightlife, with gourmet burger and taco joints alongside courtyard beer gardens.

 

Trendy stores sell locally made clothes, jewellery and bags. The Beaufort Street strip is a foodie mecca, while Astor Theatre hosts live rock and comedy in a landmark art deco building.

 

Nearby Hyde Park is arguably one Perth's most beautiful parks boasting resident black swans and Moreton Bay fig trees.
