Wonder: West End, Glasgow

Glasgow West End is a series of connected neighbourhoods with a strong cultural and artistic identity and a wealth of activity and bustle.

A large, mixed community of students, young professionals and families populate the lively and quirky area, within which there are a number of smaller neighbourhoods such as Kelvinbridge, Kelvinhaugh, Hillhead, Finnieston and Partick.

This area is a great place to live and visit for artists and art lovers, featuring a number of popular art galleries, including the Kelvingrove and Hunterian Gallery and small independent galleries. The Finnieston neighbourhood boasts ‘The Hidden Lane’: a collection of 100 artist and musician studios, a gallery and a tearoom.
