82 Saltmarket Merchant City Glasgow G1 5LD United Kingdom |
Since the CityWatch closed circuit television system was installed in 1994, Glasgow has also had a civilian warden service. The representatives are based in the Merchant City but patrol the whole city centre in distinctive burgundy uniforms and amusingly oversized hats. If you're stuck for directions and there is no-one else around, these are your best bet. You will usually see them hanging around on Buchanan Street and George Square. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A useful source of information |
St Enoch Place Glasgow G1 4BW United Kingdom +44 141 226 4826 |
When the architect James Miller was commissioned to provide this entrance to the St Enoch Underground Station in 1896, he decided it should not compete with the scale of the large church behind it, so this mini-French chateau was created. Said to be in the Jacobean style, it has a roof turret at each corner with lots of little sculptured faces. Run by Strathclyde Passenger Transport, this is the place to come for information about local transport in the Glasgow area. Schedules are available for most city bus services, some of which have recently been relaunched as the Overground to match the simplicity and reliability of the Underground. Details of local trains are also available, as well as national coach information. Review © 2007, Wcities |
