The main areas of Glasgow that the G3 postcode cover are districts such as Garnethill, Woodlands and Finnieston with it also taking in a small chunk of Woodside which is where I have lived all my life.
Woodside is a very convenient place to live due to its location being in the middle of Glasgow’s city centre and the West End meaning that city life has been a constant growing up.
Streets around me continue to evolve and change but there are still many reason why I love where I live.
I also live in a place that can claim to have had a Beatle casually cut across the road, be the birthplace of Sean Connery’s father and have a stunning Carnegie library building.
1. Discovering books at Woodside Library
Libraries are vitally important buildings where books can be accessed for free. When I was younger, our primary school would regularly take us to Woodside Library which is probably where my love affair with reading began. | Glasgow Life
2. Walks at Kelvingrove Park
There is several great Glasgow parks on my doorstep and my particular favourite is Kelvingrove Park. I spent a lot of time in the park during lockdown after you were allowed to go outside for some exercise. Its got a real magic to it and is always busy with it being a great shortcut into Finnieston. | Kelvingrove
3. Jumping on the subway
One of the best ways to get around Glasgow for quickness is the subway. Having St George’s Cross station a short walk from the house is brilliant as you can be on Buchanan Street or Byres Road in under five minutes after getting on the train. | Supplied
4. Stunning views
There are plenty of great spots near where I live to find some stunning views of Glasgow. One of my particular favourites is the view from the end of Hill Street in Garnethill looking over the West End. | Glasgow Life
