Lanes and alleyways of Sydney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lanes and alleyways of Sydney are a series of passageways found in Sydney central business district that have historically functioned by providing both off-street vehicular access to city buildings and secondary pedestrian routes through city blocks. They generally feature street art, cafes, restaurants, bars and retail outlets.[1] The Rocks has the most prominent and historical laneways in Sydney, which date to the 19th century.[2] Forgotten Songs is a popular attraction found in Angel Place.[3]
The bulk of the laneways are found at George Street and Pitt Street. Chinatown also features a number of lanes, alleys and arcades.[4] There are around 107 individual lanes in Sydney CBD, where they are demarcated by four precincts; Northern CBD, Central CBD, Western CBD and Southern CBD.[5]
