Degraves Street, located just north of Flinders Street Station, is home to some of Melbourne’s finest dining. Originally names after Charles and William Degraves, a duo of businessmen who built a flour mill on the street. Degraves Street has changed drastically over the years, transiting from a street of industry to a street of culinary experience.
Famous for its many restaurants and bars, and located within easy walking distance from Flinders Street, Degraves Street has prospered throughout the years, drawing in tourists, locals looking for a bite to eat, or the occasional busker and street performer. Like many other Laneways in Melbourne, Degraves hosts a dazzling display of Street Art, the majority of the art is concentrated around the adjacent alleyways to the street but some of it reaches out into the main thoroughfare to add to the already vibrant atmosphere.
