Yes, the days are getting warmer and longer and spring is almost here. Hopefully, we will soon also....

Super proud of our team who under desperate circumstances recreated our venue this week. From chefs to front of house managers on their knees giving new life to a 116-year old marble floor. The Thunder Walker will rise again. Excited to welcome people back to her Scatterlings Arcade for lunch, tocktails, deli shopping and treasure shopping.

The Thunder Walker's Scatterlings Arcade is an indoor-outdoor street, covered by a roof, but with the most wonderful natural ventilation. Built in 1904, louvers just below the roof - for the full length of this 3-floors high, voluminous space - provide for perfect natural airflow. Here you will not be trapped in a stale-air enclosed environment. Instead you can enjoy natural airflow without any artificial air-conditioning. If only they built buildings today like they did in 1904!

The Thunder Walker is a visionary project by JoburgPlaces, located in an historic bank building at 110 Fox Street (just behind Gandhi Square).

Closed at the moment due to Covid-19 lockdown restrictions, JoburgPlaces is re-configuring its use of the arcade space. A new beginning is planned for 28 July 2020.

The other Thunder Walker spaces - Zwipi Underground and Town Square Banqueting Hall - will remain closed for now.

The Thunder Walker – the iconic and historic, erstwhile banking arcade in the heart of Old Joburg – is standing empty and forlorn amidst the ongoing Covid-19 disaster with associated lockdown restrictions.

Curated and operated by JoburgPlaces, this space holds so much promise and potential. A promise that will not be wasted. Something is brewing…

Find Scatterlings Arcade on the ground floor of the Thunder Walker, a historic bank building and now a major visitor destination and events venue, originally built in 1904 as a bank building for the United Building Society. Scatterlings Arcade is a beautiful event space and offers occasional Saturday lunch, migrant teahouse pop-up experiences. Operated by JoburgPlace, together with the Zwipi Underground and Town Square Banqueting Hall and collectively know as the Thunder Walker, this is the most sought-after event space in town.

It is situated in a four-storey volumed arcade with hanging plants and charcoal art depicting some of the famous buildings of Jozi.
