Lewisam (/ˈluːɪʃəm/ ⓘ LOO-ish-əm; see below) is an area in the northeastern suburbs of Harare, Zimbabwe. Together with more well known districts, such as Belgravia and adjoining Newlands, it forms part of the city's embassy row, home for example to the British ambassador's residence and the Italian embassy.
Lewisam was sparsely populated until the development Enterprise Rd, in the post war era, which encouraged the development of the northern suburbs. It is bordered by Highlands to the west, Newlands to the south and Chisipite to the north and northeast.
