Starbucks, Byres Road, Glasgow

Starbucks, Byres Road, Glasgow
Byres Road is a mixed commercial, shopping and upmarket residential area consisting largely of traditional sandstone tenements with retail premises on the ground floor and three floors of residential flats above. Its proximity to the University of Glasgow has meant that the surrounding West End of Glasgow is very bohemian, with a large student, academic and artistic population that includes Alasdair Gray [now deceased], whose mural and ceiling paintings adorn the Ubiquitous Chip, the Oxfam Bookshop, and the Oran Mor bars. Quoted from Wikipedia

I remember it well although it's bound to have changed a bit since I frequented the area. Further down toward the bottom of the road there was a cafe unchanged since the 1950's or earlier. I was there about ten years ago. Wonder if it still exists.

Meryl Streep used to frequent this coffee shop, when she came to visit her son, Henry Wolfe Gummer, who was a student at Glasgow University.

The café down the road still exists. It's called the 'University Café'. They sell good pokey hats.

Thanks for your very kind comment, Jean.

Cheers,

Joe

"But it still surprises that she [Meryl Streep] managed to walk around Glasgow unnoticed when she visited her son, Henry when he was a student at Glasgow University. While her son lived in humble halls of residence, his mum booked in to posh One Devonshire Gardens." Quoted from the Daily Record website

This normally bustling area must be eerily quiet at the moment Joe. Thank you for the information with this excellent picture. Cheers, Rosa.
