Willis Street is located at the heart of the central business district of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand.
Willis Street is one of the four 'quarters' of downtown Wellington, the others being centred on the Cuba Quarter, Courtenay Place and Lambton Quay.
The two tallest buildings in Wellington, the Aon Centre (Wellington) (formerly known as BNZ Tower) and the Majestic Centre, are both located on Willis Street. There are a large number of heritage buildings registered by Heritage New Zealand in Willis Street, including St John's Church[1] and Henry Pollen House.[2]
