Maps & Location

The property is located on the corner of Glassford Street and Argyle Street within Glasgow City Centre. Neighbouring occupiers include McDonalds, Marks & Spencer, Sainsburys, Social Hub Glasgow Aparthotel and Glasgow’s vibrant Merchant City Suburb. Merchant City is the stylish, walkable heart of Glasgow city centre, stretching east from George Square and Queen Street towards High Street and Glasgow Cross. Built around the warehouses and townhouses of the 18th-century tobacco lords, its grid of cobbled streets and converted sandstone buildings now form one of the city’s densest and most vibrant food, drink and leisure quarters. The area draws locals and visitors for its mix of independent restaurants, cocktail bars and nightlife, including long-standing favourites such as Café Gandolfi and Paesano, alongside newer operators like Swadish, Mharsanta, Dishoom and Daddy Marmalade, plus the covered courtyard of Merchant Square. Culture adds further pull through the City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, the Gallery of Modern Art nearby, and the annual Merchant City Festival, all set within easy reach of Queen Street and Central stations and the Buchanan Street subway.
