About

Byker South & St Peters sits on the eastern bank of the River Tyne, characterised by its dense residential streets and steep terraces. The area is dominated by the landmark Byker Wall, a sweeping, colourful housing estate that defines the local skyline and urban fabric.

This area includes working boatyards and quiet pedestrian pathways along the old river channels, offering a distinct contrast to the main residential quarters. The local topography provides frequent views across the river towards the city centre.
