Surry Hills Accommodation
Surry Hills Sydney is located just minutes from the Sydney City heart and Chinatown. It is a thriving mix of café, restaurants, warehouses and residential apartments.
Surry Hills Sydney maps show an area of the Sydney Centre bordered by just below Oxford St, South Darling St and Central Station. Given its location, the people of the area are very varied, ranging from suited business people, local aboriginal people to people with strong alternative lifestyles.
One of the main strengths of Surry Hills comes from its closeness to Central Railway. Central is the commencing point for all long distance Sydney trains and has a terminal for interstate and long distance Sydney Buses. Sydney car rentals can also be organized from sites in and around Surry Hills.
Surry Hills history reflects a dark past from the convict era, with a number of older buildings still remaining in the area. Many of these buildings have been or are in the process of being renovated while keeping the historic flavour of the area. You can easily take a tour of the area by Sydney bus.
Art and culture is a mainstay of Sydney. Surry Hills is the home of the Brett Whitely Studio, one of Australia’s leading artists. Surry Hills holds an annual Surry Hills Festival full of music and over 250 food and craft stalls. The corner of Collins and Crown Streets plays host to the Surry Hills Markets on the first Saturday of every month. These markets specialize in craft and recycled goods.
