About Leeson Street
Leeson Street runs south from Dublin’s south city centre through a well-connected inner-city corridor towards Ranelagh and Donnybrook. The area combines handsome Georgian and Victorian buildings, offices, apartments, embassies and established residential streets, with a lively but generally polished urban atmosphere. Residents are close to St Stephen’s Green, Iveagh Gardens and the Grand Canal, while Portobello, Baggot Street, Ranelagh and Rathmines broaden the choice of shops, cafés, restaurants and evening venues. Nearby education includes local Montessori and creche provision, with colleges and schools across the south inner city; Blue School of Motoring is also a recognisable local business. Commuters benefit from frequent Dublin Bus services along Leeson Street and easy access to the Luas Green Line at St Stephen’s Green, Charlemont and Ranelagh, as well as Dublin city-centre rail and bus connections. The street itself has a strong selection of cafés, restaurants, pubs and convenience shopping, while Grafton Street and the city centre are readily walkable. Leisure options include parks, gyms, cultural venues and riverside walks, although traffic and limited parking are typical of this central location.
