Скачать или смотреть A Look At St. George's Mall, in Downtown Cape Town, S.A.

Actually St. George's mall is not a mall but a street. During the days of the Dutch colony it was called Berg straat. The name change occured when the British had firmly established their power in 1830. George is the patron saint of England. The cathedral at the far southwestern end of the street got the same name.
Since motorized traffic was banned from the street, St. George's mall is a pedestrian zone. There are quite a few stalls selling souvenirs and other items. During lunch time there are some places to buy food or even sit down and have a simple meal. Activity dies down after 6PM, when also security presence is reduced. There are some interesting boards with info about Cape Town's history.
