Benjamin Lane leads north off Bourke Street between Queen and Little Queen streets, winding behind the delicatessens and cafes of the Bourke-Queen intersection. Its entrance is partially covered by the overpass of a building housing a pharmacy and deli, but the lane re-emerges in daylight to provide pedestrian access to a car park, connecting from here to Little Queen Street and Merlin Alley. The lane has no footpaths, and is mainly used as a service lane for the surrounding buildings.
