Hyde Park is an affluent inner-southern suburb of Adelaide in the City of Unley.
It features King William Road, a popular shopping and dining destination in Adelaide. Considered an upper class suburb, it is home to some of Adelaide's most oldest, expensive and luxurious properties.[2] Millswood railway station and the Belair railway line are close to Hyde Park. Until the 1950s a tram line ran to Hyde Park.[3]
Politically, the suburb is safe for the Liberal Party of Australia; at the 2010 election, it attracted 62.33% of the primary vote.[4]
Hyde Park "did not derive its name, as many suppose, from the famous Hyde Park, of London, but from a gentleman named John Hyde, who came to [Australia] in 1839"[5]
In the 2021 Census, there were 1,660 people in Hyde Park. 72.6% of people were born in Australia and 81.1% of people spoke only English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 43.7%, Catholic 19.5% and Anglican 11.8%.[6]
