Newcastle neighborhood guides
Grainger Town, Newcastle
Grainger Town is the walkable historic core of Newcastle, built in neo-classical style between 1824 and 1841. Start at Grey's Monument and walk down Grey Street, call in at Grainger Market, and finish near the Tyne.
Haymarket, Newcastle
Haymarket is the transport-first corner of central Newcastle, built around a Tyne and Wear Metro station served by the yellow and green lines. It suits anyone who wants the Metro on the doorstep and the city centre on foot, and it is less appealing if you want a quiet evening base well away from the busiest streets.
Jesmond, Newcastle
Jesmond is Newcastle's leafy residential suburb north of the city centre, built around a wooded dene, a Victorian park and the busy Osborne Road strip of restaurants and bars. Here is what to see, where to eat and drink, and how the district fits into a city break.
Newcastle Quayside
Newcastle Quayside is the city's riverside strip along the Tyne: a working-quay district turned dining, drinking and hotel quarter. Here is what to see, where to eat, where to stay and how to walk it.
