Classical streets, the Grainger Market, museums and the cathedral
Grainger Town is the 19th-century heart of Newcastle, built around Grey Street, Grainger Street and Clayton Street. Grey's Monument marks the centre; the Theatre Royal, the Central Arcade and the Grainger Market, which opened in 1835, are a few minutes away on foot.
Westwards are Chinatown on Stowell Street, the surviving towers of the medieval town walls, Blackfriars and the Catholic cathedral. The Discovery Museum and the Centre for Life lie near Central Station, while St James' Park and Leazes Park are uphill to the north-west.
