Longmile Road Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Longmile Road
Long Mile Road is a well-connected, mainly urban and mixed-use area in Dublin 12, extending between Walkinstown, Crumlin and Bluebell near the Grand Canal. Its character is practical and established, with housing estates and apartment developments alongside workshops, trade counters, offices and larger roadside businesses. Residents benefit from straightforward access to the city centre, the Naas Road and the M50, although the road itself can be busy at peak times. Bus services run along Long Mile Road and nearby routes, while Bluebell Luas stop and Harcourt Street–Tallaght line connections are accessible from the surrounding area. Everyday shopping is convenient around Walkinstown Shopping Centre, Sundrive Road and Crumlin, with supermarkets, pharmacies and services close by. Food and drink options are spread through Walkinstown, Crumlin and the Naas Road, ranging from cafés and takeaways to established local pubs such as The Green Kitchen and The Halfway House nearby. Green space is more limited immediately along the road, but Tymon Park, Brickfields Park and the Grand Canal provide useful options for walking, exercise and family outings. The area is also close to sports facilities, community organisations and employment districts, making it a practical base for commuters and households seeking good road and public-transport access.
