[2] High Street forms the notional boundary between the city centre to the west, and Dennistoun and Calton to the east.

The original City Chambers at the foot of High Street was closed and moved to the present building which stands overlooking George Square in the late 19th century.

However, in the early 21st century, the fortunes of High Street have enjoyed a renaissance with Glasgow's growing economy.

The lands around the station have been developed into a hotel, and another scheme called Seventeen Acres is awaiting funding.

The railway station itself will be substantially remodelled if the Glasgow Crossrail scheme is approved by the Scottish Government.
