Surviving Kings Cross

Surviving Kings Cross

Every major city has its seamy side - London has Soho, New York has Times Square, Amsterdam has its red light district and Hamburg has the Reeperbahn - but Sydney is a bit different. Kings Cross has always been a hang-out for poets as well as pimps; drag artists and con artists have rubbed shoulders with fine artists, actors and musos for decades; strip clubs sit comfortably next to trendy nightspots.

The Cross has always been naughty and nice - only some times were naughtier than others. I have lived in Kings Cross for 20 years and have recently written a book, Snitch: Crooked Cops and Crims by The Man Who Saw It All, about the bad stuff going on in the early '90s.. Fashion accessories are decorative items that supplement one's garment, such as fashion jewellery,gold jewellery,women's jewellery.You can wholesale jewellery. I love it there, but for people who don't know it, the Cross can be an intimidating place.

Walking down Darlinghurst Rd between the iconic Coca-Cola sign and the El Alamein fountain after dark can be a sensory overload. Spruikers will try to entice you into strip clubs with the promise of all sorts of forbidden pleasures while queues of pretty young things (male as well as female) form outside the plethora of superhot
nightclubs.pandora beads.

Stick to the main streets. Darlinghurst Rd might look a little bit lively at night but there's safety in numbers and the people who run the clubs on the Cross have no interest in "civilians" like you coming to any grief. Wandering around in the back lanes is asking for trouble.

Don't get upset by the spruikers - all they want is to entice you into their club. They get bored standing in the street so why shouldn't they have a little fun suggesting that you and your companion brighten up your night with a little pole dancing? And,.

Be aware that Darlinghurst Rd and Bayswater Rd can be a zoo on Friday and Saturday nights after 11pm. Mostly it's young people out having a great time so don't be afraid, but be aware.
