Long Street has always been one of Cape Town’s most recognisable streets.
It is a place of old buildings, balconies, restaurants, music, murals, nightlife, small businesses, hidden details and many different stories. Over the years, the street has been through many changes, but its character has never disappeared.
Love Long Street was started to help share the good stories that are still very much alive here.
The aim is simple: to highlight the people, places, history, creativity and businesses that make Long Street special. From public art and heritage buildings to local restaurants, street details and community projects, there is still so much worth noticing.
It is also about encouraging people to look at Long Street with fresh eyes.
The street has its challenges, like any busy inner-city area, but it also has energy, culture and potential. By sharing positive stories and supporting the people who are investing in the street, Love Long Street hopes to play a small part in building pride, connection and renewed interest in the area.
Long Street has always had a story to tell.
We are here to help tell the good ones.
