Avoid Streets West Of Central Station at Night and other Glasgow, United Kingdom Warning Or Danger Tips

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.
