The subjects are situated within a
busy retail parade on Abercromby
Street, a busy thoroughfare linking
the Gallowgate and London Road,
within the Calton area, in the East
End of Glasgow, approximately one
mile from the city centre.
The area is a densely populated
residential area, which has seen
much regeneration in recent years,
benefitting from the Glasgow 2014
Commonwealth Games, which
saw high levels of investment in
infrastructure and new housing,
as well as new venues including
the Emirates Arena, Sir Chris
Hoy Velodrome and the Tollcross
International Swimming Centre,
all of which attract high levels of
people to the area. Other nearby
amenities and attractions include
Celtic Park, Glasgow Green
Football Centre and Glasgow
Green itself and the iconic People’s
Palace, as well as the famous
Barrowlands and Barras Market.
The subjects lie directly across from
Bridgeton Health Centre and are
only a short walk from Bridgeton
and Bellgrove Railway Stations.
There are good road links to
Glasgow City Centre and the main
motorway network, with regular
bus services.
