      History:

      Teddington Park formed the northern boundary of the City of Toronto in 1912. That same year, separate plans of subdivision were registered by two prominent Toronto businessman: Nicholas Garland and Robert Dack. These plans led to the eventual building of homes in Teddington Park.

      Teddington Park’s development as a high-end residential district was inspired by the Rosedale Golf Club, which had moved from Rosedale to the Teddington Park area in 1909.

      Teddington Park’s older houses on Riverview Drive were originally given descriptive names such as ‘Donnybrook’, ‘Silverwood’, and ‘Treetops’. These names were in leu of municipal addresses, which were not issued until some time after the houses were built. Some of these houses still display their historical names.

      Overview:

      The Teddington Park neighbourhood is one of the smallest and most exclusive districts in Toronto. Over the years many important and influential Torontonians have called this neighbourhood their home.

      Teddington Park is conveniently located along the Yonge Street corridor however, it is remarkably quiet thanks to its natural boundaries which include the Rosedale Golf Club and the Riverview Drive Ravine.

      Good Eats

      Burger’s Priest – 3397 Yonge Street –  https://www.theburgerspriest.com

      Known for its cult following at the original Beach location and for its steady line out the door, this infamous burger joint has opened a second location for us Uptowners and we couldn’t be more ecstatic! The burgers are just as tasty at their bigger and brighter North spot. We are fans of the ridiculously tasty veggie burger, a deep fried mushroom stuffed with gooey cheese. Plus, only at this location, they’re blending up tantalizing malts and shakes – so be sure to save room!

      Neighbour’s Tip: If you’re not part of the clergy and haven’t yet learned their secret menu, be sure to search for it online.

      Belly Buster Submarine – 3447 Yonge Street

      Ask anyone in the neighbourhood and they’ll tell you it’s the best sub they’ve ever eaten. Yes, the décor is reminiscent of the ‘70s, with a bright orange and yellow color scheme, but as soon as you smell the pounds of bacon sizzling, you’ll feel right at home. Their super soft bread, thinly hand-sliced cold cuts, and fresh selection of toppings make this family-run joint a must-try. There’s usually a line to the end of the shop at lunch, dinner and then again at about 2am, but don’t turn around when you see it – it goes quickly and it’s well worth the wait.

      Neighbour’s Tip: Order your sub, but don’t tell them what toppings you want until they ask – trust me!

      The Abbot Pub – 3367 Yonge Street – https://theabbot.ca/

      This dimly lit and cozy pub is dishing out all the classics and we know you’ll be pleasantly surprised when your food exceeds expectations. They make everything from scratch with the freshest ingredients and bring some life to traditional pub fare. Their “Ploughmans Lunch”, which is a smorgasbord of sharp cheddar cheese, house pate, pickles and a hard-boiled egg, is delicious and a fun change from the norm. And, the shepherd’s pie might even taste better than Mom’s.  This is the kind of place every neighbourhood needs!

      Neighbour’s Tip: They welcome families and love kids, but before and after prime dinner hour it’s also a great spot to grab a beer with a friend at the bar.

       

      Homes:

      Riverview Drive is a winding, countryfied road, lined by majestic maple trees. The properties on Riverview Drive are especially large as many of these homes back onto the Riverview Drive Ravine.
