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. It was demolished in 2007.

Since 2011, the site has been occupied by M&M's World.

In November 2011, the glockenspiel, redesigned and restored by the clockmakers Smith of Derby was returned to Swiss Court, very close its original location.
