Walk through our front door.

Six days a week on Macleay Street. Beautiful finds, real conversations and where most of the Cross first meets us.

A bit about the Op Shop

Donations

The Kings Cross Op Shop is the heart of the Centre and for many locals, the first hello. Run by our Shop Manager Yann and his fabulous crew of volunteers, it's the place to pick up a designer bargain, vintage treasure, or a bit of unusual art and jewellery, have a proper chat, and feel part of the Cross.

Every donation gives something good a second life, and every sale goes straight back into the community, the services, the support and the events that make this place work.

Looking after each other, looking after the place.

We gratefully accept donations from the community.
