Richmond is one of the oldest suburbs in Melbourne and sits on the northern edge of the CBD behind the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). It has a rich history of immigrants who came to live in some of Richmond’s tiny streets and work in some of the nearby factories.

Today Richmond's past has resulted in creating a suburb that has a dynamic vibe from the little Saigon style of Victoria Street, the shopping and dining of Swan St and Bridge Road to the abundance of Greek Restaurants as well as the many hotels and pubs that are scattered across the suburb.

It is well known that the some of best bargains in Melbourne can be found in Bridge Road and Swan Street and every bargain hunter flocks there to shop at the factory outlets and seconds stores for some of Australia’s top fashions and accessories. Victoria Street has been a second home to the Vietnamese Community for quite some time and is a great place to stop by for a bowl of noodles after a hard day’s shopping.

At the top of Victoria Street across the road from the famous Skipping Girl Vinegar sign is the new shopping Centre Victoria Gardens here you can find Ikea, a Cinema, a bowling alley as well as 70 other stores.
