Glasgow's G1 postcode in the city centre and Merchant City areas was named among the coolest in the country and branded as an area "for the sophisticated party crew."

It was praised as "a party postcode" with The Sunday Times saying it is "surely one of the best places in the world for a bouji bevvy (you can imagine Roman Roy propping up the bar).

"Take your pick from the Corinthian Club, the Citizen and, opening later this year, Glasgow’s Soho House, the first in the UK north of the Cotswolds."

The paper's assessment added that after a night out here, "It’s worth dashing across town to tend to your hangover at the Ubiquitous Chip — known locally as the Chip — serving high-end Scottish favourites (sadly without Irn-Bru)."

Visitors on Tripadvisor praised this postcode with one user saying the area has a "vibrant luxurious" feel and is filled with "lovely bars and restaurants and very friendly people."

Another added that it is "really cosmopolitan" and is "vibrant at the weekend, quieter on Sundays [with] plenty to see & do."
