In reply to Ben Schluter. Thanks Ben, great to know where the name began. Do you have a photo of the spray painted sign?

In reply to Ben Schluter. Used to be called Narnia until 2000. We moved in 2001 and pulled the Narnia sign down, and was unnamed for most the year. Flatmate had some mates in the undie500 from chch come down, and when they were leaving we were joking about how much of a sh*t-hole the flat was (but an awesome flat nonetheless), and one spray painted ‘Hilton on Hyde’ on that half-pulled down brick fence at the front – a classic name inspired on the spot. Next year the spray paint was painted over, but the flatties put a sign up
