Hyde Park (SA), SA
By Lauren McCaleb · Reviewed by Dylan Duncan ·
Hyde Park is an affluent, inner-southern suburb of Adelaide, set just a few kilometres from the city within the City of Unley. It is regarded as one of the city's most prestigious addresses, with a stock of gracious old homes that count among Adelaide's most expensive and elegant. The heart of the suburb is King William Road, a fashionable strip of boutiques, cafes and restaurants that draws shoppers from across the metropolitan area. Millswood railway station and the Belair railway line lie close at hand, and until the 1950s a tram service also ran out to the suburb. Despite the name, the area is said to take its title not from the famous London park but from John Hyde, an early colonist who arrived in the colony in 1839, leaving a quietly English stamp on this leafy pocket of Adelaide.
