Location
Originally a prestigious address where the wealthy built their villas, such as Elizabeth Bay House, Kings Cross later became the haunt of bohemian artists and writers and a ‘rest and recreation’ destination for servicemen. Today, ‘The Cross’, along with neighbouring Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay, is Australia’s most densely populated district – a famous nightlife and dining area and a magnet for tourists and locals. Down the hill, the once working-class area of Woolloomooloo contains delightful terrace houses and the Finger Wharf, now transformed into a glamorous hotel, dining and apartment complex.

Shopping
The best shopping strip is Macleay Street, Potts Point, the location of delis and food stores, clothing boutiques, homeware shops and a major supermarket. There are several good bookshops in the area, and Elizabeth Bay Road offers a delicatessen, upmarket boutique and bottle shop. Other supermarkets and convenience stores are located in Kings Cross and Woolloomoolloo, and don’t forget the local Sunday market, held in Fitzroy Gardens – a great place to find new age items, second-hand goods, books and crafts.
