Buchanan Street

Ah, Buchanan Street! At the heart of Glasgow, it's got it all. It's definitely the place to start your shopping in Glasgow - for music, clothes, jewellery, or even a stiff drink. First off, it's a pedestrian zone, so you won't be mowed down by traffic. It is the horizontal bar of a massive H with Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street. Between them, these three areas will satisfy even the wildest shopaholics, and I'm going to include all three in my ...
...centre at the corner of Buchanan and Sauchiehall. Clothes: (I'm going to stick to guy's clothes shops, since I have absolutely no help to offer for the women) Buchanan St: Diesel, USC, Foot Locker, Next, Topman, House of Fraser -- Argyle St: Gap, JJB Sports -- Sauchiehall Street: Greaves Sports, M&S For designer clothes, Diesel is brilliant, but a bit pricey. There's a ton of sports shops, so trainers and any sports clothes or equipment are easy ...

Review of Buchanan Street

...the glass windows are the Buchanan Galleries. I love the appearance of the building and always buy something at the small Sainsbury's local next door. It is easy to get to Buchanan Street from the train station and bus station, there is also parking nearby which is easy for those coming a long way. When inside the Buchanan Galleries you see escalators, hectic atmosphere and Millie's Cookies. I love the cookies, I am sure it is still there anyway ...
...or also just go down Buchanan Street looking at shops or go to Sauciehall Street, St Enoch's centre is a tube stop away at Buchanan Street. It is easy to get around with the underground, at the St Enoch's centre the food in the upstairs cafeteria is really nice I go for pizza and chips you can also get pizza, there is a potato secton, pizza etc . The transport in Glasgow is easy to access there are always buses, trains are frequent and buses are ...

Review of Buchanan Street

...bit about the layout of Buchanan Street and the surrounding shopping area. Buchanan Street is the center of the area, running from north to south through the heart of the city. It is approximately a quarter of a mile long and completely pedestrianised (apart from a few streets that run across it). At the north end runs Sauchiehall Street, also partly pedestrianised, and at the south end, Argyle Street. The city center is built on a grid, making it ...
...There are two Underground stations, Buchanan Street Station at the north end of Buchanan Street, and St. Enoch Station on Argyle Street at the south end of Buchanan Street, which provide easy access from many parts of the city. There are two train stations serving the center, Central Station in the south and Queen Street Station in the north, just of Buchanan Street. Both stations provide access to areas within Greater Glasgow, aswell as further ...

Review of Buchanan Street

Again this is in the wrong section because for some reason there is not a section in which to write opinions on Glasgow as a whole, still... Who ate all the pies, deep-fried Mars bars, chip butties and black pudding? Glasgow did, and smothered them in gravy. Glasgow came out on top of a recent survey to find the fattest city in the UK. Not known for its healthy habits you could have predicted that Glasgow would score highly on the table of lard, ...
...in such style. With points in every category but one, and high scores for lack of parks, bad eating habits, incidents of fatal heart disease and numbers of fast food restaurants. Glasgow gave itself an impressive 12-point lead over its competitors. Surprisingly, it was the number of health clubs that let is belt-breaking record down. The city is teeming with them, it has the largest number in the UK - if only they would actually use the things. Despite ...

Review of Buchanan Street

The Buchanan Galleries is an indoor shopping mall in the heart of Glasgow’s city centre. The centre has wide open malls and the whole centre has a bright, clean feeling to it. There are about 80 shops in the centre, the largest of which is the John Lewis Department Store. The shops are on three levels, with a Food Gallery on a fourth level. There is a decent selection of shops, although by far the majority are clothes shops. For us men, who ...
...preferred to see more seating in the centre, where we could sit down and wait whilst others looked around the shops. Apart from in the Food Gallery there are very few seats anywhere in the centre. There is a crèche where children aged 2 – 8 years old can be left, whilst their parents shop in the centre. For older children they may be attracted to the Internet kiosks that are situated next to the Food Gallery. The centre has a large car park ...

Review of Buchanan Street

...centred around Queen Street and Buchanan Bus Stations. And guess what street connects the heart of glasgow: Buchanan Street, split in half by the idyllic monumant - "Nelson Mandela Place". I only really started appreciating it on Christmas Eve when I took the train into Queen Street with the aim to reach Debenhams Department Store, where I work, beside Central Station. I watched as the town centre became dark, and then I saw the heartline of Buchanan ...
...can buy almost anything on Buchanan street and on a dark night, the violet lights are mesmerising. Transport around Glasgow, especially to Buchanan Street, is simplistic - Virtually all buses commute into Buchanan Bus Station and almost all trains link inexorably with Central and Queen Street Stations. Still, though, if you require extremely speedy transport to the city centre from different general areas of Glasgow, the Underground takes you to ...
