Glasgow Explorer

The Buchanan Galleries opened in 1999, and is home to 80 shops over 56000 square metres of retail space — John Lewis occupies the largest unit in the centre.

Construction took nearly three years, and the centre has contributed, along with the redevelopment of the former Buchanan Hotel opposite, to the gentrification of what was a run-down area of the city centre, adjacent to the Royal Concert Hall. The junction of Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street, where the centre is situated, now forms the heart of Glasgow’s shopping district.
