Personal Safety: Avoid Streets West Of Central Station at Night
  • Tip Rating:
  • Avoid the area directly west of Central Station (train) at night. It is rife with drugs and prostitution. Not at all comfortable.

    The area is that north of Argyle Street, up to Bothwell Street.

    See this map for details:

    If you arrive at the train station late in the day and want to walk to one of the many hostels / hotels in the West / Charing Cross, leave the station by the main Exit onto Gordon Street, not the side exit to Hope Street. You'll probably sense this anyway.

    From the front of Central Station, turn left, then take the first right and head up one or two locks. The easiest way is to walk up to Sauchiehall Street and then turn left (west).


    I don't suppose it is dangerous to walk this area, but at least now you are warned. Ask the police if unsure.

     perhaps you could do a similar count of one tip wonders that are negative and give some balance to your writing. you appear to have a personel vendetta which hardly does justice to your writing

     you will be pleased to know decree has been served against Todd at bluesky,so he better have circaŁ40.000 in unpaid rent by thursday?It also proves the root problem of the situation.

     You should google bluesky thief to see how correct your comments on this hostel are but the other ones in the street are super and members of www.hostel-scotland.co.uk so do not damage the good ones with your sweeping statements
