Newtown, a suburb of Sydney's inner west is
located approximately four kilometres south-
west of the Sydney central business district,
straddling the local government areas of the
City of Sydney and Marrickville Council in the
state of New South Wales, Australia.[2]

King Street is the main street of Newtown and
centre of commercial and entertainment
activity. The street follows the spine of a long
ridge that rises up near Sydney University and
extends to the south, becoming the Princes
Highway at its southern end.

Enmore Road branches off King Street towards
the suburb of Enmore at Newtown Bridge,
where the road passes over the railway line at
Newtown Station. Enmore Road and King Street
together comprise 9.1 kilometres of over 600
shopfronts. The main shopping strip of
Newtown is the longest and most complete
commercial precinct of the late Victorian and
Federation period in Australia.[3] King Street is
often referred to as "Eat Street" in the media
due to the large number of cafés, pubs and
restaurants of various cultures.[4] Cafes,
restaurants and galleries can also be found in
the streets surrounding King Street
