Summary

A short walk around the Windsor end of Chapel Street, taking in some of Melbourne's most fun street art and graffiti.

Description

Starting at Windsor Station (which is on the Sandringham line, 10 minutes from Flinders Street) and doing a quick loop around the Windsor end (a foody's paradise) of Chapel Street.

You'll take in Melbourne Bowls Club, the oldest bowls club in Australia, a thriving laneway covered in artworks and you'll finish up close to The Astor theatre, a cinema which has retained all of it's original 1930s charm.

Windsor has undergone a dramatic gentrification in the last decade and is now chock full of great restaurants, pubs and bars. From rough and ready to fine dining, you are spoilt for choice here!

Points of Interest

1. National Storage

Striking monochrome throws and characters really brighten up this corner. Be careful of the level crossing!

2. Bowie, Cash and a Clockwork Orange fence

This homeowner clearly had a great time in the seventies!

3. Melbourne Bowls club

Established in 1864, this bowls club is an institution. Good cold beers at reasonable prices too.

4. Artists Lane

This laneway is overflowing with wow making artworks. Change is the only constant, but keep your eyes peeled for works by Mysterious Al, Unwell Bunny, Kaff-eine or Heesco.
