The subjects are situated on Albert Street, within the established districts of Easter Road, Leith and Abbeyhill in Edinburgh, approximately one mile south-east of the city centre.
Easter Road is a vibrant and well-established district, characterised by a diverse mix of commercial and residential uses. It forms a key arterial route connecting Abbeyhill to the south with Leith to the north. The area benefits from strong levels of passing vehicular traffic and pedestrian footfall, generated by both the local population and visitors, as well as an extensive surrounding catchment. The streetscape along Easter Road is predominantly commercial at ground-floor level, comprising a mix of national and independent occupiers, with residential accommodation typically situated on the upper floors.
More specifically, the premises are located at 154–158 Albert Street, occupying a prominent position with return frontage onto Dickson Street. The property is situated approximately 100 metres west of the Easter Road/Albert Street junction and approximately 380 metres east of the Leith Walk/Albert Street junction, providing convenient access to both established commercial thoroughfares.
