Despite its proximity to the city centre (around 15 minutes on foot), the area offers a diverse range of small, independent stores along with national retailers such as M&S Food and Waitrose supermarket at Comely Bank. The area’s bohemian feel blends with more upmarket and chic boutique stores and hosts a weekly farmers market. The area is full of pretty tearooms, sophisticated restaurants, cafes, and bars. Nearby Inverleith Park offers a green haven in the middle of the city, with the Botanic Gardens located nearby, too. With pleasant walking and cycling routes right on your doorstep, and excellent transport links across the city and further afield, Stockbridge is an incredibly sought-after area of the city.
