On Our Doorstep...
William Street, Edinburgh
Our bustling little cobbled street is tucked away in the West End of Edinburgh. It has earned the reputation of being the 'Notting Hill' of the North and has become an essential shopping spot in town. Excellent if you want to have your hair done, find interesting clothing, pair of shoes or a bag, pick up a present or a bunch of flowers...
We'd like to welcome you to our street and introduce you to some of our neighbours...
