Surry Hills

Surry Hills is an inner-city suburb in Sydney with Victorian terraced houses, boutique stores, art galleries, and numerous restaurants along Crown Street and neighboring lanes. The architecture blends historic buildings with modern commerce, creating a mix of old and new throughout the area.

The area originated from a 1820s land grant called Surry Hills Farm, which Major Joseph Foveaux received as his property allotment. This early estate gradually developed into the residential community visible today.

The Belvoir Street Theatre presents Australian performances in this neighborhood, and the Brett Whiteley Studio alongside contemporary art galleries shape its artistic identity. This area draws creators and performers who contribute to its reputation as a creative hub.

Central Station is located on the western edge and provides easy access to the area, while buses and light rail offer additional transportation options throughout the neighborhood. The good connections make it simple to move around and explore different parts of the suburb.

The monthly Surry Hills Market at Shannon Reserve brings together local artisans selling vintage items, crafts, and specialty foods. This regular gathering reflects the neighborhood's community spirit and local creative traditions.
