Woodstock - About the Neighbourhood
Woodstock is one of the oldest suburbs in Cape Town and it is also one of the hippest. An incredible mix of diversity and cultures combine to make the neighbourhood a vibrant, bustling blend of food, fashion, arts, and design. Woodstock is a place to be seen and heard, favoured by locals for good reason.
The renovated Old Biscuit Mill is home to cool design stores and hosts the weekly Neighbourgoods Market, with street food stalls, African handicrafts and designer fashion. On nearby streets, quirky stores sell vintage fashion, upcycled furniture and antiques.
Woodstock is also known for its street art and even though this is clear for all to see, some of the best gems can only be found off the main thoroughfares so you may want to book a walking tour. One of the best know is a street art tour by artist Juma Mkwela.
