Buchanan Street

Buchanan Street is one of the busiest shopping streets in Glasgow, forming the greater part of the city centre shopping area, and is home to a fabulous selection of big brands and designer names. With this in mind, it will come as no surprise to learn that Buchanan Street has been voted one of the best retail streets in the UK, second only to London's Oxford Street. Well-known for its bus station, the street is very well-serviced by public transport, with two subway stations - Buchanan Street subway station and St Enoch subway station at the south end of the street.

Buchanan Street and its surrounding area offer a dazzling selection of big-name brands, designer stores and independent boutiques. The Buchanan Galleries, with its 90 retail shops and restaurants is part of the "style mile", the name given to this style-conscious area of Glasgow. The galleries are home to several names in quality fashion, like Fred Perry, Levi's and Oasis and stylish refreshment facilities such as a champagne and cocktail bar, a juice bar and several coffee houses - helping it to compete with the luxury fashion boutiques of the nearby Merchant City.

And Buchanan Street recently became even more of a shopper's paradise with Buchanan Quarter the latest addition to the area, featuring residential and retail properties and the first Forever 21 store in Scotland, along with Gap, Paperchase and other big names.
