An Area to be Explored…
Bordered by two of the best parks in the city. The Johannesburg Botanical Garden in Emmarentia is the city’s quintessential picnic spot, where you can lay down your blanket in the fragrant rose garden on a Sunday and watch the wedding parties parading past. Delta Park, in neighbouring Blairgowrie, is a massive city park where you can literally walk for hours. Delta Park is especially beautiful in March and April, when huge drifts of pink and white cosmos flowers burst into bloom.
Endless Options for Food + Drinks + Retail + Healthcare and more…
Linden’s most iconic café, The Argentinean, sits prominently under a curved sign at the corner of Seventh Street and Fourth Avenue. Known primarily for its hearty breakfasts and fresh croissants (which The Argentinean contends are the best in Jo’burg), the café is crowded with locals on weekend mornings.
The Whippet, just across the street from The Argentinean, is equally popular but with a totally different atmosphere. Foodies flock to The Whippet for its creamy cappuccinos, scrumptious baked goods and stylish décor. Craving coffee? Look no further than Yield Coffee on Eighth Street. Owned and run by women, Yield arguably serves the best coffee in Linden, hands down. Ophelia Café, while technically in neighbouring Emmarentia, is around the corner and also serves seriously good coffee in a beautiful setting.
