THE ANNEX

A hippie hangout in the 1960s, the area retains much of its artsy flavour and is home to many students and professors. Bloor is the main retail strip, and the side streets are lined with historic Victorian, Georgian and Tudor homes. Honest Ed’s bargain emporium at Bloor and Bathurst streets, owned by theatre mogul Ed Mirvish, is a neighbourhood landmark. Mirvish Village, on Markham Street just west of Bathurst, is a stretch of restored homes that house antiques shops and bookstores. Avenue Road to Bathurst Street, Bloor Street West to Dupont Street. Accessible from St. George, Spadina and Bathurst subway stations.
