Bohemian by nature, Newtown is a neighbourhood that thrives on the fringe. Eclectic and artsy with elements of grit, Newtown has established a name for itself on the local and international art and theatre scene. The focal point is King Street, which is both a foodie’s destination and a place to nab a quirky find. From the main hub to the narrow backstreets, Newtown likes to push the boundaries.
Lifestyle.
Offbeat and arty, Newtown has evolved from its blue-collar roots into an area that oozes all things bohemian. Although in more recent times the neighbourhood has seen a wave of gentrification, the locals have remained true to their eccentricities and the newbies have embraced them. All the action takes place in and around King Street, a 9 km stretch that flows down into Enmore Road. With quirky holes-in-the-walls nestled next to established brand names. King Street is the place to eat, drink and shop at all hours of the day and night.
