Christchurch Central City

Edgeware is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, to the north of the central city. It is centred on a cluster of some 20 shops that make up Edgeware Village on Edgeware Road near Colombo Street's northern end. [3] The boundaries of the suburb are debated. Google maps includes St Albans park as being within the boundaries of Edgeware, while excluding the Edgeware shops at the western end of Edgeware Road. [4]

Edgeware received national attention in the news in June 2006, when an out-of-control party on Edgeware Road resulted in the deaths of two schoolgirls. [5]
