Morningside Manor and Gallo Manor AreaKelvin Drive is the central spine of Morningside Manor, and has a shopping centre, Morning Glen, currently being revamped but open for business. Facilities include a Post Office, Postnet, Pick 'n Pay supermarket, Wimpy, Pizza Perfect, two hairdressers, a bottle store, a Pharmacy, Optician, Video Hire, ATMs (ABSA, FNB, Nedbank, and Standard), hardware shop, BP Garage, and tyre repair/replacement. Directly opposite there are Medical Rooms and a Pharmacy at Manor Medical Centre. The Sandspruit Hiking Trail runs through the suburb and includes Ernest Ullmann Park. The Ernest Ullmann Park Recreation Centre has numerous activities for adults and children, a tea garden and a monthly craft market on Sundays. The trail itself is good for walks of up to four hours in peaceful and natural surroundings with running water, spectacular rock formations, lawns, indigenous vegetation, willows, wattles, kakiebos and black-jacks. There are geese, ducks, plover, guinea fowl, various ibis, other birds, and occasionally a rare sighting such as a leguan. Dogs are allowed under control or on leads. The Braamfontein Spruit Hiking Trail, where walks of a whole day are possible, is in the next valley. Morningside ProperAt the north-eastern end of Morningside on Kelvin Drive abutting Rivonia we have a little shopping centre, "90º on Rivonia" (formerly called the Pavilion). Facilities include Nando's, Steers, various other restaurants and take-aways, a hairdresser, a bottle store, Video Hire, ATMs (ABSA, Nedbank, and Standard), Zenex Garage. A Spar opened at "90º on Rivonia" in May 2006. One block away from Kelvin Drive on Rivonia Road opposite Alon Rd is the larger Morningside Wedge shopping centre, containing many other restaurants, a Woolworths food store, pharmacy/dispensary, Clicks, Fruit & Veg City, a larger hardware shop (Mica), Nedbank, Mr Price, etc. The original Morningside shopping centre on Rivonia Road corner Outspan Road has been redeveloped at a cost of R300 million and opened on 11 June 2009. Though it has retained its original name, this mall has gone seriously up-market and is many times the size of its modest former self, boasting over 70 shops, boutiques and restaurants. At the south-eastern end of Morningside there is the Morning View shopping centre and Montrose Nursery Garden Centre and Gia's Coffee Shop, both located in South Road. For Morningside shops and businesses not in any listed centre, look here. The Morningside Virgin Active Club is on Rivonia Road corner Centre Rd. Rivonia (Edenburg)Known to most people as Rivonia, the township of Edenburg is located in the North of Sandton, Johannesburg, stretching from Morningside (First Avenue) north to the N3 highway, centred on Rivonia Road. It lies between the Braamfontein Spruit and the Sandspruit: The name "Rivonia" is thought to be derived from the fact that it is located between two rivers. Rivonia Boulevard between 8th and 10th Avenues is the business hub of the area, with a wide array of restaurants (see Restaurant list here, read Restaurant Reviews here), supermarkets, clubs, banks, shopping centres (e.g. Rivonia Junction, Rivonia Square, Mutual Mews, Early Dawn, Rivonia Village) and separate shops. The local Veterinarian is Rivonia Village Veterinary Clinic, corner 8th Avenue and Stiglingh Road. For fitness fanatics, the Morningside Country Club is close by, as is a private gym on Rivonia Road corner North Road, and the Planet Fitness Rivonia Mega Club in Rivonia Square. WoodmeadThe nearest really huge shopping complex to Morningside and Rivonia is in Woodmead next to where the M1 Motorway meets the N1 (the Buccleuch Interchange). Shops not in any particular centre, and a map giving the location of the centres, can be found here: Shops and Shopping in Woodmead. Here we have the Makro, the established Woodmead Value Mart, Woodmead Commercial Park, Woodmead Super Value Centre, Woodmead Square and the new Woodmead Retail Park, all on Waterval Crescent off Woodmead Drive. See Other Shops Woodmead here. Across Woodmead Drive from the above, the original village shopping centre for locals, Dunwoody Centre, will be found. WendywoodThere is only one shopping centre in Wendywood, tucked away on Daphne Road between Wendy and Darwin Roads, just off Western Service Road. It is a small neighbourhood centre with a Spar, hairdressers, optometrist, car audio shop, dry cleaners and drapers, butchery, and a club. It is, not surprisingly, named Wendywood Shopping Centre. There is a municipal clinic nearby (see Wendywood Shopping Centre page). PetervaleThere is only one shopping centre in Petervale, just south of the N1 Freeway, off Cambridge Road. It is a small neighbourhood centre with a delicatessen, hairdressers, dry cleaners, butchery, and two pubs. It is named Petervale Shopping Centre (why not?). There is a municipal clinic nearby (now listed). BryanstonBryanston Shopping Centre is the original shopping centre in Bryanston, just off William Nicol, in Ballyclare Drive, Bryanston. It is a medium-sized centre with two supermarkets, hairdressers, dry cleaners, and innumerable dress shops. This site doesn't cover any of the other shopping centres in Bryanston yet. Benmore GardensJust up the road from Sandton City, Sandton Square, Sandton Convention Centre and Nelson Mandela Square, Benmore Gardens Shopping Centre represents a refreshing, accessible alternative to the conventional shopping mall experience. With 66 shops, service outlets and restaurants, Benmore Gardens offers a rich diversity and has been completely refurbished recently at a cost of R200 Million.
