Maitland is a railway station in Observatory, a suburb that grew up around the line and the institutions on its edges. The South African Astronomical Observatory, off Observatory Road behind Groote Schuur Hospital, is the 1820s institution the suburb is named for, and it runs free public open nights on the second Saturday of most months, with telescope viewing, a talk and the historic McClean dome. Groote Schuur Hospital on Anzio Road, where Christiaan Barnard did the world's first human heart transplant in 1967, and the UCT medical campus put thousands of nurses, students and registrars through these streets at all hours, which is why the area runs on shift work and why the bars stay open. Lower Main Road is the spine: Trenchtown pumps reggae until the small hours, Obz Café has served the same reliable burgers and Wednesday quiz for decades, and Café Ganesh on Trill Road does curry and roti. At 9pm on a Friday the pavement is busy and slightly chaotic; at 9pm on a Tuesday in July, it is four people and a dog. People book hotels near Maitland to be twelve minutes from the CBD and twenty from Muizenberg, to drink with residents rather than a cruise ship, and to walk to the station, the hospital and the observatory. Skip Observatory if you want quiet or a sea view. There is petty crime — phone snatching around the station and along Station Road after dark is routine, and the underpass is not a place to walk alone at 11pm.
