History

Melbourne CBD is close to the locality. As a result, over time the area is transforming rapidly from a former working-class suburb to being gentrified.

Prime Minister of New Zealand, Richard Seddon, lived in the area from 1893 to 1906. This led the suburb to be changed from Belgravia to its current name.

The majority of streets get their names from famous British monarchs.

Nearby Footscray is a key shopping hub, while Seddon is largely residential, with many Victorian and Edwardian houses.

Seddon is popular with young business people and families, as it remains an affordable option close to the city. It features many small parks and gardens. It is within easy reach of the wider array of facilities in Footscray. Each year, the Seddon Festival, a pedestrian street affair, brings outside communities to the area.
