The St.Lawrence neighbourhood was previously the location of Toronto's downtown centre and the city hall during the 19th century. Many of the city's oldest architecture is found in this small but very popular area of the city.

Bordered by Yonge St. on it's west, The Esplanade on it's south, Parliament Streets on it's east bank and roughly Queen Street on it's north. The area is full of restaurants, cafes and hotels and is very popular with tourists.

In the earlier times the neighbourhood was referred to as, 'St.Lawrence Ward', or as said today as, 'St.Lawrence Market'. Also named St.Lawrence Market is the largest Vendor Market in the area.

As a result to the city's dramatic population growth in the St.Lawrence neighbourhood, a much larger city hall, police station and jail cells were built in 1845. To this present day the St.Lawrence neighbourhood has been significantly applauded as a major success in urban planning. Some of the most interesting architecture in the city can be found in the St.Lawrence.

Condos like The Esplanade, The King George, The St. James, 30 Wellington, Absolute Lofts, St. Lawrence Lofts, MoZo, King's Court, have long been in high demand with new comers like London on The Esplanade and VU introducing new options.

If Antiquing and/or fresh vegetables are for you then you'll want to frequent this picturesque part of the city early mornings on weekends as there is a serious flee market on the north side of Front across from the actual St. Lawrence Market and fruit and produce is fresher nowhere else in the city than the farmer's market in the historic St. Lawrence Market.
