Richmond is a suburb lying to the east of Melbourne's City Centre. The suburb is interesting because of its varied demographics, discount shopping, and cheap food and drink.
North Richmond, centered on Victoria Street, is also known as Little Saigon or Little Vietnam for its huge Vietnamese community, and its numerous Vietnamese restaurants, bakeries and Asian grocers. Increasingly, there are also restaurants offering food of other ethnic groups, such as Thai and Korean.
South Richmond is well known for its low price fashion - along Bridge Road - and other wholesale outlets, mostly found along Swan Street.
