By night, craft beer bars and intimate live music venues take over. Crown Street and Oxford Street are the main arteries, lined with vintage stores, concept shops, and design studios. The nearby Prince Alfred Park offers a lush escape with a heated pool and tennis courts. Surry Hills' central location means you can walk to the Sydney CBD or catch a quick bus to iconic beaches.
