The Neighbourhood
This West Toronto neighbourhood of Old Mill is located north and west of the intersection of Bloor and Jane streets.The area began life as a hunting and fishing region for Canada’s First Nations People, before European exploration of the area, and subsequent settlement. The King’s Mill – the predecessor to today’s Old Mill – was used to process lumber for Toronto’s first houses. A series of fires forced the mill to be re-built 3 times. Today’s Old Mill Inn & Spa has incorporated the remains of the last grist mill into the walls of its intimate boutique hotel, spa, and restaurant. Enjoyable 5-10 minute walks offer shopping at either the Bloor West Village or the Kingsway Village shopping districts; or hop on the subway and find yourself in Toronto’s downtown within 15 minutes.
At Old Mill Station subway you can make your way downtown in just 20 minutes. Travel by car to either downtown Toronto or the airport is easily accessed via the Gardiner Expressway, from the foot of South Kingsway.
