Northumberland Street is located within the very heart of the historic New Town district of Edinburgh, which lies a short walk from the city centre and the sophisticated and equally renowned Stockbridge area. The New Town has some of the first and least spoilt Georgian architecture in Britain and continues to be one of the most popular residential areas in Edinburgh.
The area boasts an excellent choice of schools, including The Edinburgh Academy and Fettes College. The Georgian New Town is equally well known for the quality of city centre living it offers, with a wonderful and varied choice of local amenities that include the Queen Street Gardens, art galleries, independent shops, restaurants, cafés, bars and bistros. There is also an excellent bus service covering the whole of Edinburgh, with the nearest bus stop located just a stone's throw away.
