Location:
Abbeyhill is one of the oldest parts of Edinburgh, taking its name from Holyrood Abbey and lies a mile east of the city centre and the east end pf Princes Street. The main east-west thoroughfare through the area is London Road, laid in the 1820s and on which the flat is located.
There is a wide range of independent shops, boutiques, cafes, and pubs in the immediate area. High street retailers, fast-food outlets and both a Sainsbury's and Lidl are found in Meadowbank Shopping Park.
The flat enjoys an ideal location for all that the centre of Edinburgh has to offer. Excellent shopping and a myriad of delicious restaurants, theatres, cinemas, galleries, and museums all contribute to the city center’s sophistication and appeal. The newly commissioned St James Quarter and the Omni Centre, boasting a Health and Fitness Club, a multi-screen cinema and several restaurants, are both at the head of Leith Walk.
For recreation, Holyrood Park is an oasis for those who enjoy the outdoors, cycling, running and hill walking are amongst some of the activities which can be enjoyed on your doorstep. Calton Hill is also within walking distance of the property and provides beautiful views of Edinburgh. Meadowbank Sports Centre provides state-of the-art sports facilities, including indoor and outdoor athletic tracks and a range of gyms and fitness studios.
