Shawlands is just 2 miles south of the City Centre, centrally positioned between the sought-after suburbs of Pollokshields, Queens Park, Cathcart and Newlands. Shawlands features many bars, restaurants, coffee shops, bistros and independent retailers. Outstanding architecture from the drawing board of Alexander Thomson/James Turnbull and H E Clifford resulted in a diverse mix of residential property, ranging from Victorian tenement flats to outstanding neo-gothic detached villas. The area is well served by a number of reputable golf clubs, Pollok Country Park and the world famous Burrell Collection and a number of well maintained regularly used municipal parks. The South Side of Glasgow is regularly regarded as convenient commuter base complimented by sought-after peaceful suburbs.
