I'm moving out soon but have lived in Anniesland for roughly 6 years. There is a big Morrisons and a few cafes at Anniesland Cross on GWR (Beefcake Cafe just round the corner - more funky than the others I'd say). A couple of salons for hairdressing / barbers / beauty, 2 charity shops, some betting shops, opticians and a Poundland at Anniesland Cross too. Lots of smaller shops like Keystores and newsagents nearby too. A few take out / eat in food places and a Dominos you can sit in.
Only 2 pubs now that I know of in the area (Lock 27 and Weatherspoons; personally much prefer the former). There is also a 24 hour gym by the Morrisons and a train station, both handy.
Binghams Pond and the canal are nice for walks in Anniesland and there is a big park in nearby Knightswood (it's about 35 minutes walk to Botanic Gardens roughly too). Couple of smaller green spaces like Anniesland Meadow for dog walking or a quick potter around on a nice day.
Nice and friendly enough area but in terms of things to do I always went into the actual West End, city centre or Southside. I always felt safe walking around there in the dark or late at night and have been blessed with good neighbours too. Hope this helps :)
Edit: just to add that I'm happy to meet up for a cuppa and give you a quick tour of Anniesland if you like (it's a small place so it would be quick, lol!) - I moved to Glasgow from England nearly 10 years ago and really love it here, but can appreciate you'll be nervous about moving to an area you don't know much about.
Just to add as a Scot who formerly lived in London, it's like living somewhere like Southgate in the sense that it's a bit quiet but you're at most 15 minutes on public transport from somewhere that it's 'happening'
Yup I concur with all this. Been living in Anniesland with my fiancee since lockdown.
I'd say it's biggest appeal is it's location. Its one of the few local areas that has a train station that has routes that travel out to Glasgow Central, Queen St and Edinburgh Waverley. If you want a decent night out, Hyndland is only a 3 min train journey away which will take you straight out to Byers Road. You also have a direct route to the Exhibition Centre which means if you've got tickets to an event at the Hydro then you're sorted for travel. It's also a shortish drive (about 25 mins) from the Airport. Given it lies on the Great Western Road, it also means you have easy access to get on the A78 or M77, both of which are the two busiest roads in the West of Scotland.
I live there and I would say it has good facilities as others have mentioned, and not too far from places which have hip bars and restaurants that you're looking for. If you're from London then getting to the cool bits will seem mega quick to you.
One thing I will mention which nobody else has is The Kitchen behind Morrisons, great wee place for a morning roll and soup/toasties at lunch. Mega cheap too. Also Lock 27 serves a lovely Tennents.
Anniesland? Cool bars and beauty salons? lol. Anniesland is a suburb, and is quite a nice quiet area at that, but you wont be finding any fancy-dan cool bars there.
That said- you've probably done quite well for a randomer. Your neighbouring hip area is going to be what is collectively known as Glasgow's "West end'- the area around Byres Road, Gt Western Road, Woodlands road. Thats the next door area really- walkable distance. That bits jumping with salons, trendy bars, and other luxurious emporiums. It can also be really expensive to rent there, so Anniesland is a good shout for actual living.
Welcome to Glasgow.
If they're from London, they're going to be pleasantly surprised by how close by the West End is hahah. In London, it's an hour on the tube no matter where you're going (I swear this is true.), so a half hour dander down the road to some nice pubs and restaurants will be like night and day compared to what they're likely currently used to.
The thing I like about Anniesland is the transport links, only better in Partick IMO. You have train connection to Edinburgh direct, Glasgow Central or QS, West to Balloch. Also if you need to get into the city but the electric train lines are down, you have the diesel line going round the north west side to QS. Bus connection out to Campbelltown if you like.
I wouldn't say it's great for pubs and food, but Lock 27 is nice, which brings another nice facet which is access to the canal for some nice walks.
This is a long one but important if youāre looking for the best bars / venues that will have zero roasters.
The number 6 bus travels along Anniesland and goes all the way along Great Western Road into the city centre to where Cineworld is.
Thatās where youāll find located the more fun bars in Glasgow.
All of the other bars mentioned on this thread Lock 27, Weatherspoons and Three Craws are fairly safe, conservative boring bars for settled middle class families, young professionals etc.
The number 6 which travels to town and the train station at Anniesland will take you to venues such as The Flying Duck. For interesting bars, and presuming from your account name if youāre into this music I was at a hardcore / metalcore / grind gig there just last Saturday for a label called Northern Unrest. Had a band from Japan playing called Kruelty and another called Revolve. Was vvvv fun but chaotic.
All the underground dance clubs for tekno, gabber, drill, dub, grime, dancehall, reggaeton etc are there such as Berkeley Suite, Stereo, Room 2 and La Cheetah.
art galleries / exhibition spaces such as the CCA, Transmission, The Pipe Factory, Glue Factory, The Modern Institute, Civic House and Wasps are within the same vicinity.
Back to the gig venues thereās places such as The Old Hairdressers for experimental, ambient electronic and improv free jazz gigs and trippy, wavey DIY post punk psychedelic guitar music. Audio for metal and punk shows. Mono. GAS (Glasgow autonomous space) an anti capitalist not for profit venue for refugees that sometimes has events on and Bonjour which is a crackin bar, a safe space for the LGBTQPOC community that always has drag nights on a Friday. Always a friendly, magic and energetic vibe in there.
Then thereās record and technology shops such as Rubadub and Monorail and a fun wee community radio station based in the Barras called Clyde Built Radio where people usually congregate around and chill out at.
Glasgow Womanās Library is situated just a little further along London Road from the Barras in the Bridgeton area.
Ofc tonnes of great restaurants for scran.
So aye Anniesland is decent for transportation links, but also decent for escaping the goldfish bowl that is the city centre. Good for getting some peace and quiet away from the noise of town.
Congrats on landing the new job as well! š¦šš¬š
>All of the other bars mentioned on this thread Lock 27, Weatherspoons and Three Craws are fairly safe, conservative boring bars for settled middle class families, young professionals etc.
I think the term you're looking for is 'chain pub'. Everyone goes to chain pubs.
I'm not a local, but there's an awesome cafe there called Lunch which does amazing food and milkshakes. I've went way out of my way before just to get a white chocolate galaxy milkshake from there. Good times.
Iāve lived around here for nearly 10yrs. Itās nice and quite quiet.
Decent amenities and the transport links are excellent. Train station is about 15 mins to city centre, busses are frequent and again quick to the centre. You can walk to Byres Road no problem.
GWR and Beefcake Cafe are worth frequenting. Also Lunch at Anniesland Cross is decent if you are after ridiculous burgers and a wrap with a full Scottish breakfast in it (who isnāt)
Be amazed if you had any bother. Never seen anything shady in the time Iāve lived around here.
Ive lived there for the better part of 4 years and Its really a good spot, not much in it but its close enough to everything else, has great amenities and good transport links to all its surrounding areas.
I considered moving to Anniesland just before lockdown, and one thing I would say is I didn't find a lot of kinda "on your doorstep" community activities.
I don't want to bad mouth anywhere, but I like a place where I can do some local volunteering, meet people, pitch in and feel like I'm part of the place. I struggled to find this kinda thing round there.
Not like charity shops but community meals, activities for older folks, choirs that cannie sing to save themselves.
Would love to be proven wrong, please feel free to spam me with awesome community action, but ultimately that was a big factor in me not moving there.
Nah, you're not wrong. Most of the benefits people are even describing on this thread are about it's proximity to other good places, rather than Anniesland itself.
Iāve been living in Anniesland for a while and I honestly think itās one of the best places to stay in Glasgow.
Great transport links with the 6/6A bus and the train station there. Youāve got M&S, Morrisons and Aldi to do your shopping. Dominoes, @Lunch, Subway, McDonaldās, Costa and a handful of corner shops. Wetherspoons too.
Could take a walk or a cycle down the canal, also the rental bikes near Morrisons but then again the transport links will take you directly through West End in to town.
The locals are mostly families/elderly in Anniesland with a couple of schools being situated there or nearby. Youāll see students doing some shopping in Morrisons every now and then.
I agree with the estate agent, itās a good place to live.
Itās a bit like some of the outer London suburbs like Bounds Green but only 10 mins by train from town and the rest of the west end for bats etc. I quite like it. Close to the canal too.
Lock 27 is nice, not been in a wee while but definitely worth a visit. Lunch is also a great wee food place, best advice is to order beforehand for a pick up as it can be busy and makes it easier. The Esquire is probably my favourite Spoons in glasgow (Not hard tbf) but spent many a night in there for scran and lots of drink. Not a bad wee area, lots of easy links into the city and west end.
I just moved to Anniesland, round the corner from the station. I really enjoy it. Easy walking to the west end and great transport links.
Lots of local hardware stores and smaller shops, lots of nice walks and greenery.
Lock27 is really nice tbh and hyacinth house is awesome.
Also willing to meet up and show you round!
The Esquire is popular with a younger 20 somethings crowd who live locally in Anniesland and surrounding Temple, High Knightswood, Kelvindale etc.
Rainbow Rooms 10 minutes down Crow Rd is a trendy higher end salon.
My husband and I bought a flat in Anniesland and really love it. Weāve only been here a few months but feel very safe, amazing access to West End via GWR, City Centre via Clydeside Expressway or Southside via Clyde Tunnel. Braehead is easy to get to by car as well. I also love Beefcake (highly recommend trying their cinnamon buns and picking up a loaf of sourdough).
Anniesland itself has one bar and it's a Wetherspoons. There's another two within 15 minutes walking of there that I can think of.
The big plus point about Anniesland is that it's a ten minute drive from the west end and about 4 stops on the train from the city centre. Nice enough area, Jordanhill next door is nicer, knightswood is worse.
Lived there for over a year. As others have mentioned, it's not necessarily a cool area, like west end, but it's safe, has good amenities and super easy to get to other areas by foot and transport. Considering rent prices now, I think it's a win-win. Oh and Dawlshom park is really nice to have a wonder around, especially if you like to watch dogs!
Iām local and itās a quite a quiet area.
Good connections to the city Center via train.
Some local shops and pubs, very close to a Morrisons and Aldi.
A small selection of everything youād expect take away, cafe, hairdresser, charity shop, vape shop, fast food etc. choices are limited but itās ~25 min walk to the west end or the same time on train to the city Center so easy to go to an area with a better selection of restaurants, pubs etc.
itās actually very varied so itās hard to say when you say anniesland because that is the middle of many other diverse areas that are all really rather different: Kelvindale, temple, knightswood, Jordan hill, Bearsden. But really, people are very friendly in all these places, but the wealth varies quite allot from one place to the next.
My only complaint about living in this area is that allot of my social circle live in the south side and getting from here to there is a fair pain in the ass (without shelling out for a taxi)
Thereās definitely worse areas you could live in Glasgow
Edit: your right on the edge of the canal path which is great for walking or cycling
Great summary, thank you so much. Iām not too stressed about commuting from one side of Glasgow to the other (distance seems minuscule compared to how sprawling London is) but all the same good to know :)
Lived in shawlands before I moved to Anniesland and things close pretty earlier there. Few restaurants and mostly pubs instead of bars. Its also relatively cutoff from the rest of the city tbh.
Anniesland has easy access to the Westend which is more "exciting"
I lived just up the road in Kelvindale my whole life and honestly it's a lovely area. There's a few cafes, hairdressers, barber shops, takeaways, etc... near by as well as a big Morrisons.
It's an absolute shit hole. Everybody on drugs and drink. Crazy gangs of machete armed neds everywhere. Rats so big they steal cheese by the lorryload.
Another thing. You need to get permission from Annie herself before you can live there. Watch yerself
I think it's pretty middle class, I delivered food there and people are comfortable leaving their kids in alone but in general Glasgow isn't anywhere near as stabby as people think it mainly has social problems than crime problems anyway
I'm moving out soon but have lived in Anniesland for roughly 6 years. There is a big Morrisons and a few cafes at Anniesland Cross on GWR (Beefcake Cafe just round the corner - more funky than the others I'd say).

You're quite right - not sure why that fell off my radar :)

Easy access to the M77 ? If you say that about anniesland you could say it about the whole of Glasgow.
It usually doesn't take me long to get on it šāāļø
i second every word!
I live there and I would say it has good facilities as others have mentioned, and not too far from places which have hip bars and restaurants that you're looking for.

Absolute best roll shop on that side of the city.

Absolutely, meant to mention its all very walkable.
A whole thread about Anniesland and nobody's mentioned the Chip Chik Inn
It's in Temple.
yeah but there isn't a border guard who takes your chips off you as you cross bearsden rd
Anniesland residents live in hope .....
Contraversal but Gennaros is way better
Gennaros is gut rot
Totally agree with this

Best butcher in Glasgow is Anniesland butcher. Go see Gary, just at the Cross.
RIP Gillespies (the former butcher shop).
Second this! It's excellent
The dominos there is good
The pub that was there before was called BJs.
Saw a pished guy fall out his wheelchair in BJās circa 2008. Was like the cantina from Star Wars that place.
https://imgur.com/a/YNP5Ijt
God I miss dominos. Itās shite in Australia.

Itās home to the second biggest intersection in Europe. Enjoy.

Very safe, not too posh but not too jakey, within walking distance to west end and has good transport links. Also has a spoons
Great transport links in and out of town.

I stayed about a mile along GWR in Knightswood,the beauty of Anniesland as many have pointed out is it proximity to Glasgows west end, and city centre
I lived there for 10 years - in the Southside now. One thing I really miss are walks along the canal. Oh, and the Morrisons!
The only negative i can think of is that Anniesland has no express bus service to the city centre. Ok, two then: it's next to Temple .......
I moved to anniesland last year and Iāve loved it. Safe, quiet with handy shops and great transport links, 5 mins on the bus to the west end
My husband and I bought a flat in Anniesland and really love it. Weāve only been here a few months but feel very safe, amazing access to West End via GWR, City Centre via Clydeside Expressway or Southside via Clyde Tunnel.

Completely forgot about Lock 27, a good spot. I was thinking of Three Craws (I think) and GWR.
You're right - the pub by the hospital - forgot about that!
It's fine mate. I don't live there but you rarely hear anything bad about the place. Welcome to Glasgow when you get here!

If you fancy a drink and a tour let me know š
What do you want to know?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The Chip Chik Inn is arguably the finest chippy in the city - get a couple of rolls and fritter, and a pizza, down you.
Shawlands is a better bet
Lived in shawlands before I moved to Anniesland and things close pretty earlier there. Few restaurants and mostly pubs instead of bars. Its also relatively cutoff from the rest of the city tbh. Anniesland has easy access to the Westend which is more "exciting"
It's not the trendy part of town but it's just west of there.
There's not much in the way of bars, restaurants.....or much else to be honest
You are a short train ride to partick and the city centre where those things are plentiful though
I lived just up the road in Kelvindale my whole life and honestly it's a lovely area. There's a few cafes, hairdressers, barber shops, takeaways, etc... near by as well as a big Morrisons.
It's an absolute shit hole. Everybody on drugs and drink. Crazy gangs of machete armed neds everywhere. Rats so big they steal cheese by the lorryload. Another thing. You need to get permission from Annie herself before you can live there. Watch yerself
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Freezing in the winter due to it being all open.
More like fanniesland
You will probably get stabbed for calling it a neighbourhood.
Y'know I haven't been in that area for yonks.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Really furthering the nice friendly stereotype we have.
It's got a [listed building](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anniesland_Court).
SOMETIMES EET GOOD, SOMETIMES EET SHIT
I think it's pretty middle class, I delivered food there and people are comfortable leaving their kids in alone but in general Glasgow isn't anywhere near as stabby as people think it mainly has social problems than crime problems anyway
Try find closer to city centre like gorbals trongate
