Ashton Lane is one of Glasgow’s best known streets and undoubtedly one of the most exciting places to be in the city.
The lane has a great range of food and drink options and is always busy no matter what time of day you head to it. Last year, international travel and hospitality magazine Time Out named Glasgow’s West End as one of the coolest neighbourhoods to live in the world.
In their annual 40 coolest neighbourhoods in the world list, Time Out wrote: “Glasgow has changed. Whatever bad rep this portside city might once have had, it’s now one of the UK’s most exciting places to be – and nowhere in the city is cooler than the West End.
