Busy Places

Bloor West Village is always bustling with traffic. But there are no other places that are most visited than the ones described below.

The Runnymede Library is a great place to do research and it is located directly in the heart of Bloor West Village. Outside you will notice a beautiful antique structure, while inside, the library has been equipped with the latest internet access as well as access to all other branches of the Toronto Public library system.

A new addition to Bloor West Village is Chapters. This large bookstore now occupies the site that used to be the Runnymede Theatre. The great thing about this Chapters, is that it has kept all original architecture of the antique theatre. In some places it has even reconstructed historical items such as chairs and sculptures. Come and see this beautiful place and experience the mystical atmosphere.

Swansea Community Centre, (located on Lavinia Ave.) has been the Village's center for Community gatherings. It has also been home to various other things. Anything from dancing lessons to artist advice is offered through the Swansea Community Centre and sometimes companies rent out the facilities for corporate gatherings. But mostly the Centre is a place where people can catch up on the latest news within the Village.

Lastly, the most traveled place is ironically a place of travel. This is the TTC station (Runnymede) that allows people from all over Toronto to have convenient access to Bloor West Village.
