Shopping in Ossington.
No within boutiques stand in Ossington yet. The nearest shelves are 4.69 km away at Utopia, about 12 minutes by car.
500 pieces on those shelvesA low-rise nineteenth-century block that turned over to independent retail from about 2007: independent fashion and streetwear, vintage, jewellery, furniture and a record shop, at ground level in old storefronts. It is a walking strip rather than a transit destination, which is the honest heart of its transit answer.
Getting to the shelves
- Utopia, 132 Cumberland Street, Toronto, ON M5R 1A6 — 4.69 km by road, about 12 minutes by car.
- WDLT117, 7 St Thomas Street, Toronto, ON M5S 1M1 — 4.83 km by road, about 12 minutes by car.
Driving times are free flow and take no account of traffic. Distances are by road from the middle of the district.
Getting here
The honest answer is that this is not a subway strip. Ossington station (Line 2) is 1.81 km away, a 22-minute walk; Christie and Dufferin are further. The strip's transit is the 501 Queen streetcar at its south end and the 505 Dundas at its north end, each about 290 m from the middle of the block.
Where it runs
Ossington Avenue itself, from just north of Queen Street West up to Dundas Street West. It is a single-street BIA, 0.054 sq km, the smallest in this set. West Queen West BIA adjoins it to the south and Little Portugal Toronto BIA to the north.
