About KINGS CROSS

Kings Cross is an inner-city locality of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It is located approximately 2 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district. The area is encompassed within the suburbs of Potts Point and Elizabeth Bay, which have both been administered by the City of Sydney since March, 2004.

The area is infamous in Australia as being a red-light district, (similar to Kings Cross in London) with numerous strip clubs and ''girlie'' bars along Darlinghurst Road, although many now accuse the City Council of seeking to gentrify the area, and the demographics have changed in recent years. It is also known for its Neon signs and advertising posters, the most famous being the iconic Coca-Cola sign. It is often referred to by Sydneysiders by the affectionate colloquialism ''the Cross''.

Kings Cross is also the most densely populated place in Australia with a population of around 20,000 people in a 1.4 square kilometre area. Kings Cross consists chiefly of a retail and entertainment precinct extending approximately 100 metres along both sides of Darlinghurst Road.

Bohemian district

William Street and Kings Cross from the air in the 1950sKnown as Queen's Cross until the early 20th century, it was renamed King's Cross after Edward VII of the United Kingdom. The ''cross'' is a reference to the major intersection formed by William Street and Darlinghurst Road, which forms the locality's southernmost limit.

The Kings Cross district was Sydney's bohemian heartland from the early decades of the 20th Century. From the 1960s onwards it also came to serve as both the city's main tourist accommodation and entertainment mecca, as well as its red-light district. It thereby achieved a high level of notoriety out of all proportion to its limited geographical extent.
