It’s a novel thing to be able to describe a neighbourhood in Los Angeles as walkable. And while West Hollywood and its gaudy, wide main streets flanked by cartoonishly skinny coco palms are still very much on-brand for LA, this corner of the sprawling City of Angels is easily navigable on foot.
Often referred to by its shortened name of WeHo, it’s home to a plethora of seductive arts and design stores lining Melrose Avenue, while the neon lights and rock ‘n’ roll hedonism of Sunset Boulevard are still as alluring today as they were in the 1960s. Yes, there’s Hollywood stardust here, but this neighbourhood feels more accessible than you might expect, with a delightful number of historic pop culture spots to explore. Just remember to stay cool if Al Pacino is sipping coffee at the table next to you.
