Edinburgh's Circus Lane Crowned UK's Most Beautiful Street

Nestled in Edinburgh's Stockbridge neighbourhood, Circus Lane has been named the most beautiful street in the UK and the 6th most beautiful worldwide. This charming lane is a short stroll from Princes Street and the picturesque Dean Village.

Once home to workers' cottages and artisans' townhouses, Circus Lane now boasts converted stables and carriage houses, transformed into sought-after properties. The street's history dates back to the late 18th or early 19th century, when it was part of Edinburgh's New Town development.

At the end of Circus Lane stands St. Stephen's Theatre, an arts and event space housed in the former St. Stephen's Church. Nearby, the tranquil Dean Village offers a glimpse into Edinburgh's historic past. The Stockbridge Arch, remnants of a 19th-century market facade, can be found on St Stephen Place off St Stephen Street.

Circus Lane's beauty and rich history make it a must-visit destination in Edinburgh. Its central location, just a 10-minute walk from Princes Street, and proximity to the charming Dean Village and vibrant Stockbridge neighbourhood ensure it's easily accessible and well-connected.
