Lisburn Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lisburn Road is a main arterial road linking Belfast to Lisburn. Some years ago it was a predominantly working class area. Over the past 15 years it has developed into the most[citation needed] cosmopolitan area in Northern Ireland. This is mainly due to the proximity of Queen's University, the Belfast City Hospital and the Royal Victoria Hospital. The relative absence of sectarianism and the influx of many overseas nationals such as Chinese, Indians and Africans have all contributed to the multinational nature of the area. The Lisburn Road is now an extension of the "Golden Mile" with many shops, boutiques, wine bars, restaurants and coffee houses.

At the most northerly end of the Lisburn Road lies Bradbury Place, a busy traffic junction mounted by a large and much-ridiculed TV screen billboard which prompted "The Rough Guide To Ireland" to dub it 'a poor man's Time Square'. The actual Lisburn Road runs from Bradbury Place to Balmoral Avenue. It is then called the Upper Lisburn Road. Follow the Upper Lisburn Road south to reach Finaghy, at which point it becomes Kingsway and then in Dunmurry it becomes Queensway, before finally becoming the Belfast road in Lisburn.

Many Belfast landmarks are situated along the Lisburn Road, these include:
