The Shore is a vibrant and cosmopolitan suburb of the city and has, in recent years, become one of the most sought-after areas in Edinburgh. It offers many bars, cafés, and a wide selection of restaurants (with several boasting Michelin Star status), delis and fast food outlets. Arranged around the Water of Leith, The Leith Docks and the Firth of Forth, The Shore is where you’ll find Edinburgh’s café culture, with outside seating areas ideal for dining alfresco or enjoying late afternoon cocktails while the sun sets over the water. The immediate area also offers good selection of independent retailers, grocers, a library, galleries, banks and a post office and every Saturday the Leith Market is open from 10am – 5pm. Ocean Terminal shopping centre is a short walk away from the property and offers a cinema complex, gym, M&S Food Hall and over 40 High Street shops. The location also benefits from a nearby 24-hour Asda on Sandpiper Drive, Tesco’s Express on Great Junction Street, Sainsbury’s Local along on Bernard Street and a Tesco Superstore on Duke Street. Escaping the day’s hustle and bustle and providing an opportunity for exercise and scenic walks, the historic Newhaven Harbour, various public parks, such as Leith Links and Victoria Park are all within easy walking distance, as well as the Water of Leith walkway. The Shore enjoys excellent 24-hour transport links to the city centre and direct links to the airport with day and night buses. This is soon to be enhanced by the greatly increased tram service. Expected to complete work in 2023, the new extension to the Edinburgh Tram’s cross city system will connect Leith and Newhaven, via Leith Walk, to the current terminus at York Place which allows access further afield, including Edinburgh Airport.
