Buchanan Street

Buchanan Street is one of the most significant streets in Glasgow running over half a mile forming a central stretch of the city's famous shopping district with a more upmarket range of shops. With extremely high store rents the street is the sixth most expensive one in the entire UK. It is also the second busiest shopping thoroughfare and also the second best shopping destination. Buchanan Street starts with Britain’s oldest Victoria shopping centre then gives home to such buildings as the South African Consulate, the St George’s-Tron Church, the Glasgow Stock Exchange, the Gallery of Modern Art, the Buchanan Galleries, and the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. The street with its buildings is also a famous example of Victorian architecture. It is now a pedestrian-only street.
