Top ways to experience St Andrews and St George West Church and nearby attractions
The area
Address
Neighborhood: New Town
Suits and shopping bags rule the streets of New Town, until after dark when strappy dresses come out to play. This is the city’s central business district with its smaller offices, clothes boutiques, and many of the city’s flashiest restaurants and ritziest clubs. The architecture along roads like George Street helps give it a swank and formal feel: it’s a planned Georgian development of regal townhouses, geometric squares, and self-important statues. But it’s also a very wanderable neighborhood, with a healthy bustle at almost any time of day and fine people-watching in places like St Andrew's Square which fills with picnickers around lunch. You’ll also find a series of cheerful basement bistros on Hanover Street, while dark Rose Street has something of the feel of an undiscovered back alley and is chock-full of characterful pubs and small independent shops.

A historic church on George Street is relatively simply decorated, but its unusual elliptical shape is worth admiring on a short stop. There is a popular cafe on the lower level.

Nice spot to stop. Simple church with elliptical design. Calming. Good leaflet explains the history and design. We got scones and tea and soup from the cafeteria downstairs and had them sitting on the terrace overlooking the road. Food was lovely, but the outdoor seating faced a busy bus stop, so next time I'd eat downstairs!

Eligant historic kirk in the city centre. History to learn, space and peace to enjoy and reflect. Coffee and scones or soup downstairs when you're done.

Despite the promising exterior, the interiors of this church was totally underwhelming and far from being impressive.

Attractive looking church on George Street opposite the Dome.. Very unusual design on the interior being almost circular. Very plain interior.
