- NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | Tour of Newcastle City Centre from St James' Park to Eldon Square, Grey Street and down to Quayside and the Tyne Bridge
Also watch our video of Newcastle Quayside - • NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | ...
We took our cameras up to Newcastle Upon Tyne in Tyneside in the North East of England for a 4K walking tour through the stunning City Centre there and what a great place this is!
The last time we were in Newcastle Upon Tyne we filmed around Quayside and up to the castle but this time we thought we'd start our walk at St James' Park the home of Newcastle United, before heading down into Eldon Square, and along to Grey's Monument and then down Grey Street to the Quayside area and the iconic Tyne Bridge.
This Newcastle Upon Tyne walk starts at St James' Park which is the countries eighth biggest football stadium and home to Newcastle United Football Club. We take a look around the outside of the stadium and the various plaques and statues dedicated to former players and managers of the club.
From St James' Park we head into Newcastle City Centre by walking along Strawberry Place and down Leazes Park Road to Percy Street. From here we can see the entrance to Eldon Square so we have a wander down Blackett Street and into Eldon Square itself where we can see Eldon Square Shopping Centre and the central war memorial.
Passing through there we continue along Blackett Street and onto Greys Monument which stands at the junction of Grainger Street and Grey Street
In this walking tour I wanted to show Grey Street in all it's glory because I think this street is absolutely stunning. It has recently been awarded the title of the most instagrammed street in the country and it's easy to see why. This historic street is simply amazing!
There's so much Newcastle Upon Tyne History here. Grey Street is an immaculate Georgian street in the Grainger Town area. The area also includes a mediaeval 13th-century Dominican friary, pieces of the historic Town Walls and many fine Georgian and Victorian buildings.
Grey Street contains the stunning Theatre Royal, the southern entrance to Monument Metro station and the Central Arcade. It is renowned for its Georgian architecture, and was in 2010 voted 'Best street in the UK' by BBC Radio 4 listeners and it's easy to see why.
We stop off at Theatre Royal on Grey Street for a look at the front facade which just looks great!
Further down Grey Street we continue our walking tour and head down over Mosley Street onto Dean Street and then down onto side and round to Sandhill.
From here on our Newcastle Upon Tyne tour we can start to see the iconic Tyne Bridge over the River Tyne.
Before we get to Quayside we see Newcastle Guildhall (which now has a Hard Rock Cafe built into it!) and then we come to Quayside and Hadrian's Wall Path.
As we look east down Quayside we can see past the Tyne Bridge to see the Gateshead Millennium Bridge and across the river we see the shiny silver Sage Gateshead, an events building that hosts concerts and arts and performances.
This walking tour of Newcastle Upon Tyne was filmed before learning any knowledge of this Tyneside city so if there is anything I missed that I should have included please drop it into the comments section so I can add it to my route next time I visit Newcastle City Centre!

I don't know what's with Newcastle and I don't know anyone from there but there's always something in my heart which I don't know how to explain but it makes me love the place though I've never been there. I find Newcastle very friendly and the people are kind and welcoming. It's very laid back and I just love the vibes of being with Geordies, awesome people. I hope to go there one day and meet some new friends. Greetings and love from Iloilo, Philippines.✨
Hello, filipino here who recently moved to Newcastle after living in London for years. I can say what you posted above are true. Apart from the very kind and friendly people, this city has everything a place can offer. Hope you can visit this place one day!
Newcastle is City Of Kind People ❤
I earned my PhD from Newcastle University and can say this city is so blessed with everything. I loved it so much and definitely would love so much to visit the UK againa and specially Newcastle ❤
Can you share your contact with me
Thanks for showing Newcastle at its best I wouldn’t live anywhere els. We have the city then we have beautiful beaches and our country side especially Northumberland is stunning what more do you want. Thanks again loved it.🇬🇧😜😍😍😍😍
Our pleasure! What a great city Maria!
For a newcomer to Newcastle from Dublin , where are nice areas to move to for renters do you know ? I’d love to move here soon, the city centre just looks beautiful, this video does it justice 😎
@@conorsmith8551
Jesmond or Heaton.
You ask ‘what more do you want?’….. 3°+ warmer and no North Sea breeze would be nice
Hi Maria yep newcastle is a lovely city been there 7 times
Newcastle is one of the great cities of the UK. It retains most of its Georgian architecture because it was largely unaffected during the Nazi air raids of WW2.
Great city. 💕
So true - a really great city!
is it safe to live there?
@@mostafah1188 seriously strange question. Where exactly do YOU live?
@@gerardmackay8909 why it’s a strange question? We hear about stabbing crimes everyday. I live in Copenhagen.
@@mostafah1188 stabbing crimes in Newcastle? (maybe it sometimes happens if you’re in your teens in a gang) otherwise if you feel safe in Copenhagen you will feel safe in Newcastle. Random serious violence is extremely rare in both places.
This is very beautifull city. My younger brother live in this city. Very good video. From IslamAbad. Pakistan.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for showcasing our amazing city, we often get tarred with the ‘run down unemployed’ area. We live in one of the best cities in the world it has everything. The coast is hard to beat too. Thank you
I'm from Newcastle. It looks amazing in that golden sunshine 🌞
Oh yes - it definitiely does!
Coming from the South, I adore Northumberland. I have passed Newcastle many times thinking the whole area looked grim. Your video is a revelation, the historic core could hold its own with any city.
Absolutely! Great great city
I'm a Southerner who's been to over 100 countries and many of the world's best cities. I honestly couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this video. Apparently Southerners have no idea how beautiful Newcastle is. I thought it would be all concrete tower blocks and pound shops!.
Fab isn’t it
Great city
Well I hope other Southerners like yourself have the same new opinion when they've seen Newcastle.
It is a beautiful city with lots of things to do not just going to pound shops lol.
I live in Australia….looking at this video,I must say you have a interesting and beautiful city, this really is a jewel compared to southern English cities I could mention.
Quality vlog of a great city with it's stunning architecture & I'm not a Geordie....👏👏👏
Thank you - it’s such a great city as you say!
Wonderful video reminds me when I was walking in these street 18 years ago.
Seeing all these beautiful buildings are a huge treat for me coming from NZ. I love walking through these towns and cities.
Please go back to NZ.
thanks for your sharing. It has been 3 yrs since graduated from this fantastic city. miss the days in Newcastle so so much
You’re welcome
Great city!
omg, this video is the best I've ever seen on youtube about Newcastle, where I spent only one year doing my master's more than a decade ago. I came here quite a number of times and went to a concert at Sage Gateshead. oh dear, I miss Newcastle so much now.
My home city. You captured it beautifully!
Very beautiful city my elder brother lives in this city he praised alot about this city love from Bangladesh ❤️
Awesome dude, Newcastle is my most favourite city in the whole world, my wife and I just love it. The people are the friendliest that we have ever met. It’s just AWESOME.
Couldn't agree more!
Fabulous tour. Thank you for reminding me how lovely our city is
Miss this city so much!
Beautiful I love Newcastle upon Tyne! Thanks for sharing
Thanks you mate 🙏it is so amazing and stunning city 🙏I'm impressed by this
Wonderful walk! 🤩🤗 Love Newcastle! Thanks for the lovely tour!
You’re welcome ❤️
WOW! Beautiful city!
Grey st is fantastic beautiful buildings
pity most people have their head down looking at mobiles
rather than looking at what was built in the past
another r stunningly video trip in my beloved city
thanks again, you need to get down the Big market at night though : )
The cream Jacobean building opposite the Guildhall is Bessie Surtees House, Bessie is said to have climbed out of a window and eloped with John Scott, later Lord Eldon, Lord Chancellor of England.
The stream Lort Burn runs under modern-day Dean Street and Side, which used to be the historical site of the city butchers. They threw the offal into the burn to travel down into the Tyne, the smell was reportedly 'something else'. The Crown Posada was shown, which is one of the oldest surviving pubs in the city (although it was refaced during the Grainger Town renovations), beaten by The Old George at the top of Cloth Market which dates from 1582.
Loved the video! Thank you for sharing! I’m from the US and would love to visit. My ancestors are from there, and eventually migrated to Hamilton, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, among other places, before migrating to the US. I’m related to Finwick’s, Hamilton’s, Wilson’s, and Armstrong’s. Looks like a beautiful country!
Thank you! What a beautiful street was this Grey Street. And the river bank is a totally different world. This city really has many sides. It is obvious that you love your city.
I love Newcastle but I've never actually lived there!
Memory lane, thanks. Used to work on Grey Street and the whole video is so familiar yet strange too with all the modern uses of these wonderful buildings.
I had the pleasure to see this beautiful city in this weekend. I am mesmerised by its beauty. An amazing video by the way.
Absolutely awesome city. THX
You’re welcome! 👍👍
I have lived in quite a number of cities around the UK and Europe and I can honestly say that Newcastle is the best.
Great city!!

After your last Newcastle video I said how proud I was to live here, as a Newcastle season ticket holder I'm even more proud you started this one at st James' park! Great video thank you for doing our lovely city justice!
Ah thank you - can’t fail in such a great city like Newcastle!
My favourite city after my hometown of Leeds...Been up many of times whether it's been for the football or the RL Magic weekend @ St James and allways had a blast with those fine drinking establishments in the city centre....all the best for the season with the exception when you play Leeds...
@@martinholroyd7605 thanks I think we'll need it😁
@@treywilson3680 ....you guy's still not like Bruce
@@martinholroyd7605 I'm not one of those hate merchants having been a season ticket holder for 38 years (even tho I'm a girl😁) I've seen worse but generally the hatred here is off the scale!
I have loads of memories back in the early 90s. It's a great place
Great city
Thanks for sharing,someday i'll go to newcastle 🙏
It looks lovely.
Nice video. I've walked the city centre millions of times, and enjoyed it. :)

@@darkwave9345 look what up?
Yes it was granted its City charter in the year 1080 ( I was at school there in 1980 and there was a big ‘Newcastle 900’ festival).
Beautiful place!

Beautiful ⬛️⬜️⬛️⬜️⬛️
A great video I used to go to Newcastle when I worked on the railway also will you be doing a video around Hull it has history.
Canny place,one of the best bnny lad!
Oh yes!
I have just had 4 days in the Toon. Even your 2 videos don't cover the whole of the city. Not shown on your video was the Parish Church near the roundabout described by John Betchamin as the prettiest church in England.
Now on my hit list to return & discover more of this fascinating city. Thank you
Thank you!
Was my first trip to newcastle so didnt' really know my way around!
I have walked across the King Edward Bridge from gateshead loco depot to the station and the High level Bridge and the Tyne bridge
Funny-- l asked for this in
the Dead Mall comments!
Your welcome pet
I mean-- wor lad
👍👍👍👍
by the momument what you asked what this is (25:02), its actule a vent for the metro, but covered in art. also when you looked at the original row of house for eldon square, one of those houses is actutual a vent for the metro, you can see the vent on the roof. Vents disguised in muct the same way the london tube does.
Ahhh!! Thank you John! Great info!
You made reference to the first viable steam turbine-powered vessel, The Turbinia, which is on display in The Discovery Museum (free entry). The shot of Mosley Street shows Collingwood Street in the distance, now just known for nightclubs, but it was named after Lord Admiral Collingwood, whose family house was nearby and who was married in the cathedral at that location, he was second in command at the Battle of Trafalgar and took over command to lead the fleet to victory when Nelson was fatally injured.
Love your videos. It would be great if you nipped up to Scotland. Edinburgh Stirling Glasgow etc.
That’s definitely the plan!
Was going to go to Edinburgh for the fringe / might try and get there
@@GimbalWalkTV Edingburgh & glasgow would be great. Thanks
@@supersurfer1 Coming up!
Can not wait to join Northumbria university in sep🥰
You’ll have a great time
Thanks for you video. I and muy son will a make a trip there. Bye
Have fun!
❤
tips when walking under the Tyne bridge run don't walk : )
and if visiting the quayside on a Sunday there is a market
that stretches the full length selling all sorts of stuff
well worth a look plenty eateries there too
Why should you run 🏃 on tyne bridge? Unsafe??
@@Yoel-dr Bird droppings
I am off there Saturday
Have a good time!
Impressive city. How many beautiful days like this one do they have each month ?
Not enough sadly
The description you put its very informative
Thank you!
i was raised there
We Love UK from Iran 🇮🇷❤️🇬🇧
Thank you Riza!
I call this place home. You can’t beat the ne postcode
Great great city
Very friendly City and amazing night life. I noticed the Geordies love a bar of chocolate after a good night out at the strip club.
Don’t we all? 🤣🤣
Anyone else from Newcastle?
Not me but I love the city!
Ahhh my university city I wish we had had the accommodation in the 70s that the students have now
Eldon Sq had just been built when I was there and was ultra modern at the time
@Lynne de Lacy you may have seen it before those philistine 60s planners ruined a beautiful Georgian square in the heart of the city. It would not have happened anywhere else in Europe.
@@neilboulton9813 sadly no I was at university 74-77 but at least there is so much lovely Georgian architecture left
Hi Lynn have you lived in Newcastle all your life
@chrisdawson no only when I was a student 74-77
Been years since l made that walk 1980 sounds right. Eldon Square used to be a mall if l remember right?
Oooh not sure
I'm an Asian American. If planning to live in Newcastle, what should be my monthly for living expenses? Approx, how much. And how much is housing?
Great video! I have never been to Newcastle, but I may be moving there soon for work. Can you tell me what day of the week and roughly what time of day you filmed this please? I am trying to get an idea of how busy it is. Thanks!
In the absence of a reply to your question (I lived in Newcastle for many years) I’d say this was a weekday late evening (in June/July the Sun doesn’t set till almost 10pm). It’s definitely a quiet time of the day. During the middle part of the day those streets would be busier and at weekends VERY busy. Newcastle is certainly a well used bustling city centre with tons of shops, bars and restaurants (the Theatre Royal on Grey Street is Sir Ian Mckellen’s favourite theatre and I saw him play Romeo there way back in 1977 when I was a schoolboy)
@@gerardmackay8909 Great thanks very much! It does look like a lovely city, I can't wait to go and check it out! :)
@@whome5810 hope you have a great time and don’t forget to take the metro either to Tynemouth or South Shields (both have amazing beaches)
@@gerardmackay8909 Thanks very much! :)
