A stone’s throw from Edinburgh Waverley train station and Edinburgh bus station, Broughton is one of Edinburgh’s oldest yet most central and vibrant areas.
On Broughton Street traditional pubs sit alongside gift shops, contemporary bars and fine-dining restaurants. A short walk towards the top of Leith Walk gives diners an equally wide choice of international flavours.
In Broughton you will also find the Playhouse Theatre, where many West End productions stop off for a run. The OMNi centre at the top of Leith Walk houses a cinema and gym as well as several chain pubs and restaurants. The area is also home to many of Edinburgh’s gay pubs and nightclubs.
If you fancy a spot of shopping then Princes Street is just a five minute walk away from Broughton. But if nature is more your thing then take a ten minute stroll down to Canonmills and explore the Water of Leith walkway which runs from Leith to Balerno.
Edinburgh’s tram network runs from York Place in Broughton down Princes Street, through the West End and on to Edinburgh Airport.
