The Tenement House

The Tenement House is located at 145 Buccleuch Street, Glasgow, G3 6QN. It is run by the National Trust for Scotland and is open most days from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with the last entry around 4:30 PM. Tickets are roughly £10 for adults, £7.50 for concessions, £5 for children, and £25 for families, but it’s best to check online before visiting. Facilities include a small gift shop and nearby cafés, although stairs are required to access the flat, keeping the historic experience authentic.

Visitors should be aware that The Tenement House is on the first floor with stairs, so it may be challenging for those with mobility issues. A visit usually takes 60–90 minutes to explore at a relaxed pace. Photography is generally allowed, but flash is restricted to protect the interiors. Booking in advance can help during peak tourist seasons, and families will find activity sheets and displays that make history fun for children.

The Tenement House is easy to reach from central Glasgow. From Queen Street or Charing Cross stations, it’s a 10–15 minute walk. From Cowcaddens Subway Station, it’s about a 10-minute stroll. Several local buses stop on nearby streets, and limited on-street parking is available for those driving. Walking from central areas is also pleasant and gives you a feel for the surrounding Garnethill neighborhood.
