Johannesburg City Centre (Category) - 209 posts

Over Human Rights Day weekend I discovered St. Alban's Anglican Mission Church, a 100-year-old church hidden in plain sight in Ferreirasdorp.

In the most recent installment of my Hidden Joburg series I visit the Freemasons' Hall in Parktown, designed by Gordon Leith in the 1950s.

Lilian Road Studios is a collection of funky artists' studios in a historic building in Fordsburg. They have Open Studio days on Dec. 10-11.

In the latest installment of my Hidden Joburg series, I visit the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saints Constantine and Helen, in Hillbrow.

Thorsten needed a black-tie suit for a gala event at the Rand Club. We decided to go super-Jozi on the design.

In my most recent Sleeping in Jozi experience, Thorsten and I spent the night at the Rand Club's luxurious Room 7.

I spent the night at one of the African Penthouses at 87 Commissioner Street. It was a great night out in downtown Joburg.

Thorsten and I explored the old Johannesburg Gas Works several month ago. I don't recommend others doing this but I want to share the photos.

I visited the Lions Shul, South Africa's oldest synagogue, in Doornfontein. It's one of the few shuls still operating in the inner city.

I recently became a member of the Rand Club, the historic (formerly mens- and whites-only) club in downtown Joburg.

Last weekend I toured a series of public art installations around Joburg that were either created or inspired by late artist Andrew Lindsay.

Ten years after my Jeppestown photo exhibition, I returned to the City Hall men's clothing shop and the Jozi Mall on MacIntyre Street.
