Queen Street

Queen Street stretches out in both directions from Yonge, every block with a slightly different feel.

Queen Street West is a funky stretch between Spadina and University where the intoxicating scent of Lush’s soaps lure passersby right off the sidewalk.  Further along is West Queen West. Here you can find vinyl records at Rotate This and vinyl clothes in designer boutiques. Even further still is Parkdale, where antiques, designer fabrics and  jewelry are yours for the picking. 

Queen East at Church Street is pawn shop central.  At Sherbourne, furniture and décor stores hold court.  Across the Don Valley, Leslieville is the place for vintage finds. Finally, The Beaches has a quirky mix of stores, including a shop with gardening tools you never knew existed.
