A hip hop-themed ice cream parlour. Some of the finest soul food in Los Angeles. And imminently, more free-to-view public art than you can shake a stick at. Crenshaw may not be on most tourists’ radar just yet, but for those willing to venture three miles west of Exposition Park, this on-the-up district boasts a strong cultural identity and plenty of thriving small businesses to visit. Improved public transport links are also helping to pin the neighbourhood to the map, with the Metro’s K Line now serving the area, due to roll out to Los Angeles International Airport in 2025.
