Bordering the western edge of downtown, Greene Avenue has a typically British aura, with red brick sidewalks adorned with magnificent flowers. At the corner of Wood Street, discretely nestled among well-preserved historic buildings, three black towers of steel and tinted glass, designed by the celebrated modernist architect Mies van der Rohe, soar up around Westmount Square, the area’s most elegant business and shopping centre. Fashionable boutiques, superb art galleries, libraries and antique shops line Greene Avenue.
