Just a 5 minute stroll from the Glasgow Grosvenor Hotel, Ashton Lane borders the University of Glasgow and is renowned for its bars, restaurants and cinema. Its cobblestones and fairy lights give it a unique charm, particularly after dark, and the lane is always awash with locals and visitors enjoying its vibe.

In the early 1970s, Ashton Lane was merely a rundown road buried in the West End’s back streets, but in 1976 the relocation of the popular Ubiquitous Chip restaurant from nearby Ruthven Lane, due to the extortionate lease cost, was the start of a revolution.

Other businesses soon followed from neighbouring Byers Road and today, Ashton Lane remains a thriving hotspot for nightlife and culinary delights.

Carrying on across the road sits Cresswell Lane full of cafes, restaurants and various shops selling everything from homeware to unique boutique gifts. Vintage lovers should definitely pay a visit to this area for their retro fix
