George Street
Edinburgh,
George Street is the centerpiece of the New Town neighborhood of Edinburgh. It is an up-and-coming area and now boasts high quality shops and restaurants including Browns, Space NK Apothecary, Austin Reed, Cruise, Jones, Phase Eight, French Connection, and many others. Flanked by Queen Street and Princes Street, which run in parallel, it is a wide and elegant street with impressive squares at both ends. At the western end lies Charlotte Square, designed by Robert Adam in 1791 and home of St George's church (now West Register House). The other end finds St Andrew Square — home of the Melville Monument and the Royal Bank of Scotland. It also marks the financial area of the New Town.
