The Local Secret
Not many know this, but the alley behind 222 King Street leads to St. Peter’s Square, a hidden Georgian gem. It’s a quiet pocket of green with townhouses that cost more than your entire neighborhood—perfect for a midday escape from the King Street bustle. Bring a book. No one will bother you.
Fun fact: The street was originally a Roman road called the "Devil’s Highway." Today, it’s a pedestrian-friendly lane lined with plane trees and vintage lamp posts. The only devil here is the temptation to spend your entire paycheck at the local bookshop.
