George Street, Aberdeen

Running south and slightly east, George Street heads towards the city centre.

Commercial units range from convenience stores to furniture shops, with a veritable melting pot of multi-cultural offerings from the Asian and European continents in the form of restaurants, cafés, takeaways and barbers.

The southern end of the street has been pedestrianised alongside where there was once an extensive collection of buildings owned by the Northern Co-operative Society.

These were demolished and replaced with Norco House, which was occupied by the department store John Lewis until August 2021.

A glass roof and facade improvements have been conditionally approved by Aberdeen City Council planners for the south end of George Street, along with plans for shops, a 170-bed hotel and 50 residential flats.
