There are trains every 15 minutes from Pollokshields East (a five-minute walk from our house). It costs £1.90 return and it only takes 5 minutes to get to central station.

Essentials

High-end shops (Jo Malone, Vivienne Westwood) and some nice bars - Tinderbox is good for wifi and a nice bright place to sit - just ask for a wifi code.

Round the corner, this is a great wee local supermarket that sells all sorts of spices, interesting Asian foods and very cheap chicken (it’s only £5 a kilo and one chicken breast can feed two people!)
