Lutwyche is a northern inner-city suburb of Brisbane, located 5 km from the city's central business district. The suburb is named after Justice Alfred Lutwyche, who once owned land in the area.
Lutwyche Road, a busy thoroughfare that is part of Metroad 3, is the main road through the suburb. Lutwyche Road is lined with many small shops and restaurants in addition to the Centro Lutwyche shopping centre. Kedron Brook, a creek lined with parklands and a bikeway, forms the north-western boundary of Lutwyche.
Lutwyche is well served by frequent express and all-stops Brisbane Transport buses which run along Lutwyche Road to the city. Prior to December 1968 the suburb was served by frequent tram services which converged along Lutwyche Road, from Chermside, Kalinga (until 1962) and Stafford, with the Stafford line branching off at Bradshaw Street, Lutwyche. Further south Grange trams branched off Lutwyche Road at Maygar Street, on the border of Lutwyche and Windsor. These services combined to provide an off-peak service of a tram every 2½ minutes along Lutwyche Road in the late 1950s.
