Show Notes
The naming of an Auckland suburb among the world's coolest suburbs has come as a bit of a surprise.
Kingsland has been ranked the 43rd coolest suburb in an annual list by UK media company Time Out, praising its focused on all things local.
Time Out's judges praised Kingsland's eclectic food scene, historic buildings and boutique shops that replace "flashy franchises".
Albert Eden Local Board member Jose Fowler told Kate Hawkesby it's surprising, but they do deserve the accolade.
He says it has easy access to Auckland's CBD via public transport and cycling, and has everything Time Out has praised it for - and more.
A slight hiccough - on the Time Out website, the blurb about Kingsland is accompanied by a photo of the downtown Ferry Building.
