Darlinghurst is one of Sydney’s oldest inner-city suburbs. It grew rapidly during the 1800s and still has plenty of Victorian terraces, heritage buildings and narrow streets that give the area its distinctive character.
Oxford Street has been an important route for a very long time. The road developed from an Aboriginal track used by the Gadigal people and later became one of Sydney’s best-known shopping and entertainment strips.
The old Darlinghurst Gaol is now the National Art School. The gaol opened in 1841 and operated as Sydney’s main prison for decades. Since 1921, the historic sandstone complex has been home to the National Art School.
Darlinghurst has a strong connection with Sydney’s LGBTQIA+ history. Oxford Street became a major centre for LGBTQIA+ nightlife and community life, particularly from the 1960s onwards, and the area remains closely associated with Sydney Mardi Gras.
Taylor Square is one of the suburb’s best-known landmarks. The intersection of Oxford, Bourke and Flinders streets was formally named Taylor Square in 1908 and has long been a busy meeting point in the neighbourhood.
Based in the Eastern Suburbs, Bucks Electrical also works across neighbouring parts of Sydney. Our team regularly travels to a range of nearby suburbs, including:
