Pollokshields

Pollokshields is a residential ward located south of the River Clyde. The area is defined by its grid-like street layout and is one of the city's most significant conservation areas. Its architecture is primarily Victorian and Edwardian, with many substantial sandstone tenements and villas. The district is also known for its numerous private gardens and green spaces that are integral to its character.

A notable aspect is the large South Asian community, with many businesses and cultural institutions centred around Albert Drive. The area includes Maxwell Park and is bordered by the White Cart Water to the west. Pollokshields West railway station provides a direct link to Glasgow Central station.
