The St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood is the historic heart of Old York and is now the vibrant soul of a new city. This area of Toronto offers everything from fine dining to farmer's markets, and a lively night life enjoyed in the same historical surroundings once occupied by Toronto's founding fathers.

Located in historical Old Town Toronto the area includes theatres such as the Sony Centre, the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts, and numerous historical properties and landmarks including the north and south St. Lawrence Markets, (host of the Saturday morning Farmers Market for 200 years).

Boasting a large variety of restaurants, pubs, and many fine retail stores, St. Lawrence is located east of Yonge St. and south of King St. within easy walking distance of many hotels, tourist destinations, and the financial towers.

The BIA supports summer flower and Christmas decoration programs utilizing 150 Victorian lampposts throughout the neighbourhood. Pewter reproductions of many of the historical buildings in Old Town Toronto are available at area merchants.
