South Granville & Yaletown
T
HE NEIGHBORHOODS OF SOUTH GRANVILLE AND YALETOWN
are sepa-
rated by a drive across Granville Bridge or a ferry ride across False Creek.
On the south shore, South Granville offers a pleasant mix of upscale shops and
restaurants. Granville Island is a bustling labyrinth of converted warehouses
overlooking False Creek. The centerpiece is the large public market. Yale-
town, on the north shore of the creek, began life as a railway works yard. Since
the early 1990s, Yaletown has undergone a furiously fast transformation. The
once-decrepit area now booms with offices, condos,
boutiques, nightclubs, brew pubs, and restaurants.
