Newington, Edinburgh

Located on the south side of the capital, approximately two miles from the city centre, Newington offers an array of housing options, from traditional tenements to grand villas, suiting every stage of life, and is popular with students due to its fantastic proximity to The University of Edinburgh campuses. This diverse demographic is reflected in the dynamic social scene and atmosphere, which is fuelled by an exciting blend of artisan coffee shops, pubs, bars, and cuisine from all corners of the globe. This is heightened further during the summer months when the area is transformed into the beating heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Newington sits between the much-loved green spaces of Holyrood Park and The Meadows. It is close to public sports facilities at the Royal Commonwealth Pool with its Olympic-size pool, and renowned cultural venues include the Festival Theatre, the Queen’s Hall, and the Summerhall multi-arts complex. Residents also enjoy access to an eclectic mix of independent shops, express supermarkets, and high-street retailers along Nicolson Street and South Clerk Street, with further shopping facilities available at nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre. Newington is within the catchment area for well-regarded schools and is served by comprehensive public transport links travelling across the city, day and night.
