The Annex

Why go

This is a neighbourhood to understand on foot. The quiet one-way streets reveal the Annex house style, while Bloor between St. George and Bathurst shifts into a social, retail and student corridor. That contrast—residential architecture beside cinemas, theatres, restaurants and university life—is the reason to spend time here rather than treating it as a single landmark.

What to look for

• Victorian and Edwardian homes on tree-lined residential streets
• The University of Toronto edge and campus connection
• Bloor Street's mix of cultural venues, restaurants and retail

Useful to know

• Walk the residential streets slowly, then use Bloor Street for the livelier contrast.
• Combine the neighbourhood with a University of Toronto or museum visit nearby.
• Check individual venue hours; the Annex itself has no district-wide schedule.
