Goods Corner

It is no secret that Edinburgh has become one of Europe’s most popular university cities, thanks in no small part to its delightful range of attractions, nightlife, festivals and shopping venues. As well as being a swift walk away from the University of Edinburgh, the local transport links provide residents with the opportunity to explore the rest of the city.

Just a 5 minute walk and you’ll find Cameron Toll Shopping Centre bursting with your favourite shops, cafes and even a gym. For a taste of Edinburgh’s culture there is no substitute for a visit to Edinburgh Castle, which boasts remarkable views stretching for miles and is home to the National War Museum. Then why not check out the £13 million extension at Fort Kinnaird, where you will find a seven-screen cinema, a string of bars and eateries, and countless high-street retail chains.

Every August it is an absolute ‘must’ to take in the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe, a peerless festival celebrating art, music and culture and comedy from all over the world. For a big night out that is just a short bus ride away from Goods Corner, The Southern Bar is a popular and convenient choice, or you could dance the night away at Lulu.
