## The neighborhood Known for being home to Edinburgh’s main university campus at George Square, Newington has a busy student culture and is littered with restaurants, cafes and bars. From Newington it is about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the city centre with the leafy residential area of the Grange to Newington’s West and Liberton and Gilmerton to the South. The building of South Bridge in 1788 connected once rural Newington to the city and still stands as a bustling connecting road today. The architecture is made up of Victorian tenement flats commonly seen throughout the rest of Edinburgh. Be sure to check out my guidebook for food and drink recommendations in the area! The apartment is 2 minutes walk from Pleasance, a large festival venue and beer garden, and from Clerk Street, where you will find lots of lovely coffee shops and cafes that are handy for breakfast and a Tesco Metro. The Royal Mile / Cowgate is a 10 minute walk - this is the heart of the festival with lots of street performers and pop up comedy venues. Arthur's seat is around a 15 minute walk from the apartment, as is the Meadows which hosts many festival venues. ## Getting around 10 minutes walk from NCP car park on the Cowgate. Short or long term parking is also available at St Leonard's. Local buses are available on the adjoining streets, with buses to the Royal Mile or Princes Street. Edinburgh Waverley train station is a 15 minute walk or short cab journey.
