Neighbourhoods
My favourite neighbourhoods around Darlinghurst.
Darlinghurst is a funky, high-energy area with cafes, sleek restaurants and swank cocktail bars. Oxford Street has popular nightclubs and bars, while around Crown Street area you’ll find record stores and offbeat vintage fashion stores. There’s a big arts scene here with many art galleries, independent theatres and some live music venues - that draw the party crowd.

Not too long ago Redfern was a place you’d exercise caution when going to, but now it’s one of Sydney’s trendiest suburbs. There remains however, a clear distinction between the have’s and the have nots. There are many cool bars and coffee shops around but Redfern Park is a must see.

Popular with the locals, the Lord Dudley is a Classic old English pub located on the border between Woolara and Paddington. It was here that Les Darcy met my grandfather’s sister before they were married. Space is limited and the restaurant and bistro book out quickly.
