About

Gateshead town centre sits on the south bank of the River Tyne opposite Newcastle and serves as the borough’s administrative and commercial core. The Civic Centre and central library are close to the main shopping streets and council services. The transport hub at Gateshead Interchange brings together local and regional bus routes with the Tyne and Wear Metro, providing direct connections across Tyneside and beyond. Major roads such as the A184 and A167 give quick vehicular access to adjoining parts of Gateshead and to the wider road network.

Retail and civic life concentrate around Market Place and High Street, where a mix of shops, cafes and service providers operate alongside periodic markets and community events. Public spaces are arranged on sloping ground that rises away from the river, so views and street levels change noticeably from one block to the next. One practical feature of the town centre is the integrated interchange building, where bus stands and a Metro concourse sit under the same roof, allowing straightforward transfers between modes without leaving the station complex.
