Greys club, went into the toilets and have a bouncer jump to look over the door of the toilet when I had locked it. When I confronted him he left and Ignored me, the spray guy also ignored me after this. Unacceptable really, privacy invaded and he also saw my privates.

Grey Street in Newcastle is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most beautiful streets in this city.
Constructed in the early Victorian era,around about the late 1830's ,the architecture along this street is so beautiful and diverse, running from the impressive Greys Monument down to Dean Street, some notable buildings along Grey Street include Theatre Royal ( 1837 ) Central Arcade ( 1906 ) and many more beautiful buildings.
The street was constructed by Richard Grainger and designed by John Dobson and when completed in 1837 was described by Prime Minister Gladstone as the finest modern street in the United Kingdom.
The street is a joy to walk down if you enjoy grand architecture but is also home to many pubs, bars and restaurants, its just a fabulous street, a street both myself and my twin brother Stephen really enjoyed visiting, its most definitely well worth checking out if you're in the area or planning to visit Newcastle.

Grey Street is a magnificent street of Georgian architecture which forms one of the key parts of central Newcastle. This city has thankfully revived greatly from a significant decline in the 1960s and 1970s, and this is particularly nice since it really is a very lovely and striking city with beautiful streets and views beyond even the iconic scenes along the Tyne and its bridges. Grey Street is one of the most magnificent parts of the city. It is lined with a cohesive set of grand Georgian buildings and, with its gentle curves as it descends/ascends a gentle slope, this provides a particularly striking and scenic view. Moreover, it is partly pedestrianised and lined with cafes, pubs, restaurants, and shops, with much nice outdoor seating along the street, the pedestrianised quality making it especially pleasant and peaceful. Grey Street is at the heart of what has to be one of the grandest sets of Georgian urban architecture in the country. This is a magnificent urban scene worthy of any great city.

Newcastle Upon Tyne is amazing. So much to see.
Grey Street is beautiful, full of history.
We stayed in the City for about 5 hours, roaming around Newcastle Castle, Grainger Market, Central Arcade, Dean Street & Newcastle Cathedral.
We used the Metro to get to Monument station, city is easy to walk around and worth a couple of visits as it has many hidden gems.

I maybe a bit biased but I love this part of Newcastle. During the day you can admire the beautiful Grey's Monument which overlooks this amazing Street. The architecture is breathtaking including the Theatre Royal. At night this brilliant street comes to life with great places to eat and drink. They say that a true Geordie is born on the banks of the Tyne, well include me in this because I was born on this street many years ago.

Grey Street is one of the main roads leading from the Grey Monument
It takes you down the hill towards the River Tyne. There are a number of art galleries and restaurants on the road.
The architecture on this street is stunning. The Theatre Royal is on the road and lots of other beautiful buildings.

Without a doubt one of the most splendid streets in the country. The way it sweeps down to the river is stunningly graceful. Particularly appreciate the improved priority for pedestrians. Stand at the top, just below the Monument for the best view.

This is probably Newcastle's best street in terms of architecture. There are a few pleasant independent shops and restaurants but these are only a side show. It is worth a stroll down here on the way to the quayside.

Grey Street in Newcastle connects the City Centre with the Quayside. If you get off the metro at Monument, you can just stroll down amongst the amazing buildings designed by John Dobson.
The Theatre Royal can be found there, and several good cafes, pubs and hotel line the street. It is a nice walk on a sunny day.

Is there any parking space on the street? Or where would be nearest parking lot?
Written October 12, 2017
There is limited parking on the street. Also, at the bottom of Grey Street you cross the lights into Dean Street and there is a multi-storey carpark about 100 yards down the street on your left
