{pp}Cape Town's oldest and most vibrant main road.

There's an old South African saying that goes, "I'll buy you a farm on Adderley Street". It's an expression of confidence - a bit like saying you'll eat your hat if you're proven wrong about something. The phrase attests to the prestige once associated with Adderley Street - the lively main road of Cape Town, running from the Table Bay Harbour to the entrance of the Company Gardens at Government Avenue. And, while there may be far wealthier strips in the city these days, Adderley Street remains Cape Town's most historic and renowned arteriole.
