Thistletown

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

Thistletown wears its history lightly — a culturally diverse Toronto neighbourhood settled back in 1847, wrapped by the Humber River and anchored around Albion and Islington. With a walk score of 81 and no flood risk on the map, it's an easy place to get around on foot. The food leans hearty and South Asian, from Indian and Caribbean kitchens to sweets and roti, and 30 restaurants plus 15 grocers mean the pantry and the dinner table are both well-covered. A skating rink and five parks round out a neighbourhood built for families and everyday errands.
