176 Street heritage core, Cloverdale
More infoCloverdale is Surrey's oldest downtown, and its compact grid around 176 Street has kept its 1870s bones: low heritage storefronts, painted murals, hanging flower baskets, and a row of antique, vintage, and consignment shops worth ducking into. It is a regular stand in for small town America on screen, from Smallville to a run of Hallmark films, and that film set charm is real when you walk it. The City of Surrey even signs a heritage walking route through it. As a date it is low key and free: a five block amble hand in hand, poking through old shops and stopping for coffee, that pairs with the museum and the restaurants already on the street.
Start on 176 Street around 57 Ave and just wander the five or so heritage blocks. Duck into the antique and consignment shops, find the murals, and read the odd heritage plaque. Give it an hour, longer if the shops pull you in, and use one of the cafes on the street as your halfway pause.
