Currie Street

Currie Street is a main street in the Adelaide city centre, in Adelaide, South Australia. It runs east-to-west from King William Street, through Light Square, to West Terrace on the western edge of the city centre.

The street was named after British MP Raikes Currie (1801–1881), a founder of the South Australian Company.

The street changes its name to Glover Avenue as it continues west through the Adelaide Park Lands and under the Bakewell Bridge. It then changes name to Henley Beach Road as it continues through the western suburbs to the seaside, terminating at Henley Beach South.

On the east side of King William Street, it changes name to Grenfell Street.

The building is now owned by Arts SA, and after partial restoration in the 1990s, is now used as a performance space and function venue.
