About location

The Bloor Street West–Bathurst Street intersection is best known in Toronto for marking the meeting point of the Annex and Koreatown. Bloor is one of the city’s principal east–west streets, while Bathurst Street carries streetcars through this dense inner-city district. Beneath Bloor, TTC Line 2 Bloor–Danforth stops at Bathurst station, making the junction an important transit and cycling point. Koreatown extends west along Bloor with Korean restaurants, shops and community businesses; the Annex to the east is associated with Victorian residential streets and the University of Toronto. Farther south, Toronto reaches the north shore of Lake Ontario, the Great Lake that shapes the city’s waterfront.
