The Swiss Centre was a popular tourist attraction on the north-west corner of Leicester Square, London.
It was designed by David Aberdeen and built by John Laing & Son between 1961 and 1966.[1] It was demolished in 2007.[2]
In November 2011, the glockenspiel, redesigned and restored by the clockmakers Smith of Derby was returned to Swiss Court, very close its original location.[3]
