Leederville is compact and scruffy-cool: Oxford Street has the Luna Cinema, vintage shops, bars and one of the best casual eating strips in town. Mount Hawthorn next door is the calmer residential version, with cafés all along Scarborough Beach Road.
Good for
- Staying close to the city without its silence
- Walking out at night
- Midweek cinema and a beer
