Parkhurst 4th Ave

In the heart of Johannesburg, 4th Avenue in Parkhurst offers a glamorous mix of Couture, interior design and dining. Whatever you’re after – the antique shops, high street stores, an eatery and anything in between you’ll find it at 4th Avenue. With an ambience like no other and with South Africa’s ever-popular mall culture, this high street offers customers from near and far a safe and refreshing break.

They say the only constant is change, and the hustle bustle of Parkhurst’s 4th Avenue is no exception. Parkhurst was developed as a suburb in 1904 , but it wasn’t until 1938 that a couple of shops sprung up.

In the 70’s Parkhurst got its first antique store and other followed suit until it was dubbed Antique alley. The first coffee shop opened in the mid 90’s and from there we saw yet another transformation. It was one of the first suburban high streets to offer street side Café dinning. As Parkhurst restaurant culture grew some of the antique shops closed down.
