St Leonards has become the focus of business and leisure on the lower north shore.

With the recent completion of the new St Leonards Railway Station and bus terminus, the area has evolved as a hub of commercial offices, retail shopping and of course the highly renowned Crows Nest restaurant strip in Willoughby Road. The area is best known for the Royal North Shore Hospital but the planned bulky goods warehouse and high tech business centre to replace the ABC Television site will inject further vitality into the area. The new Lane Cove tunnel extension to the M2 will also enhance the convenience of this area.
