Karangahape Road

Karangahape Road
Auckland, New Zealand (NZ)
Karangahape Road is one of the main streets in the central business district (CBD) of Auckland, New Zealand. In the first two thirds of the 20th century it was Auckland's busiest shopping street. In the 1970s and 80s it declined and became one of the city's main red light districts. From the 1990s it has revived somewhat and is now known for cafes, boutique shops and nightlife.

It runs mostly west–east along a ridge at the southern edge of the Auckland CBD, perpendicular to Queen Street, the city's main street. At its intersection with Ponsonby Road in the west, Karangahape Road becomes Great North Road, at its eastern end it connects to Grafton Bridge.
