What was once haven to hippies, over the last 50 years, Yorkville has undergone profound change. It’s now home to the who’s who of fashion, film and finance. The corner section of Bay and Bloor is synonymous with Canada’s most exclusive shopping experience. Beneath the surface is a network of retail shops and eateries conveniently connected to the Bloor-Danforth subway line. The University of Toronto campus borders Yorkville to the south and the area also hosts dozens of art galleries, a mecca of high-end hotels and the Royal Ontario Museum.
