Location
Situated in Edinburgh's historic New Town, a World Heritage Site, 7 London Street is a handsome symmetrical design of impressive Georgian architecture. Built in c. 1807, Charlotte Square provided the basic design of the centerpieces with wide middle sections and narrow ends. A cosmopolitan range of independent shops is close at hand in fashionable Stockbridge and the shops of the City Centre including Harvey Nichols, John Lewis, Jenners and the variety of shops on George Street are within easy walking distance. London Street is well served by local shops for everyday needs, as well as by the Tesco at Canonmills, Sainsbury Local on St. Andrew Square, Waitrose at Comely Bank and slightly further afield Sainsbury superstore at Craigleith Retail Park. The Playhouse Theatre and a number of excellent art galleries and museums are also close at hand as are the many amenities of the City Centre. The bars and bistros of Broughton Street are also on the doorstep. Public and private sector schools are accessible as are the open green spaces of Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden.
