Review:

Snuggled between High Street and Castle Street with the medieval Glasgow Cathedral and Glasgow Cross featuring the Tron Steeple, East End is the city's ancient heart. This is the place where you will find Barrowland Ballroom, a legendary Glasgow music venue, the Barras, the biggest and the most popular weekend market, and Glasgow Green, a beautiful park that is one of the oldest in the country. You will also find the People's Palace, a pleasant, unpretentious museum where you can learn about Glasgow's history.

Next door are the Winter Gardens, consisting of a gorgeous, ornate Victorian glasshouse with a water garden and lush tropical greenery. There is also a nice café where you can relax and enjoy the serenity of the vibrant plant world. Outside the Palace is the Doulton Fountain, an ornate, beautifully restored Victorian terracotta monument to the British Empire. East End Map
