Newtown Shopping

This historic inner Sydney suburb of Newtown is just 4km southwest of Downtown Sydney and the CBD.
Newtown is famed for its quirky, bohemian vibe, on-trend arts and theatre venues, and unique shopping.

The centre of Newtown is King Street. It is the main traffic fare and the centre of all the action but not the exclusively. However, it’s a good place to start. MORE INFO
