to the Andaz hotel.”

AN INSIDER’S GUIDE TO LIFE IN THEIR ’HOOD

When you walk out of your place, the first thing you see is:

Parkview Square, which is very beautiful and impressive.

The closest store to your front door is:

1855 The Bottle Shop.

Your street would make the perfect backdrop for a remake of:

Anything Gotham City-related because of Parkview Square!

Your neighbours are great, but you wouldn’t mind a little less:

Our neighbours are great – no complaints here.

The unofficial uniform of your street is:

Athleisure wear – there’s a Virgin Active Fitness Club downstairs so I

guess it’s comfortable for running errands while looking chic.
