Three Saints on Oxford Street

with 5 comments

A strip of Oxford Street in Darlinghurst – on the way up to Paddington – renamed itself ‘Three Saints’ recently.

It actually happened in the second half of 2008. Businesses on the Oxford Street, South Dowling Street, Victoria Street and Barcom Avenue intersection started talking renaming, set up a website, and started jamming out some names.

  • Fruit Bat Crossing
  • Penguin Square

They settled on Three Saints, due to nearby St Vincents, St Sophia and Sacred Heart.

So they’ve got the branding down.

Is this common, this renaming business?
