North King Street, running east-north-east to west-south-west between the University of Sydney (where it joins with City Road) and Newtown railway station, at the junction with Enmore Road, is the stretch that most people associate with the name King Street.
South King Street was by contrast the down-market section, with less traffic and fewer retailers, running southwards from the station to Sydney Park.
The street as a whole is the best-preserved Victorian high street in Sydney, and development controls ensure that this will not change, even though it came about by luck.

 Some thoughts on King Street | Mssv
King Street is a long road, probably a couple of miles in length, that forms the heart of Newtown, a district south of central Sydney.
The rather imaginatively named Newtown was the third town after Sydney and Paramatta to be founded in Australia, and now it’s been completely subsumed by Sydney.
I’m reminded of places like Cowley Road in Oxford when I walk down King Street; while a little run-down in appearance, almost all of the shops are conducting brisk business and notably there are around two hundred restaurants dotting its length, from all over the world.
