Imagine waking up with Edinburgh at your doorstep, the canal just a glance away, and the city’s best cafés, culture, and green spaces within easy reach. At New Fountainbridge, that’s not just the weekend dream, it’s everyday life.
Morning: A Canal-Side Start
Mornings here begin with the Union Canal just a step away. A jog along the towpath, a dog walk, or a slow coffee with views of the water sets the tone for the day. With Edinburgh Printmakers nearby, even your morning stroll comes with a splash of creativity.
Coffee and Breakfast Stops
The neighbourhood is dotted with independent cafés. Loudon’s is perfect for a hearty breakfast, while Hula Juice Bar offers vibrant smoothie bowls and strong coffee. It’s the kind of start that makes working from home feel brighter.
Midday: Flexible Work and Fresh Air
Whether you’re commuting from Haymarket station (just a short walk) or working remotely, New Fountainbridge is designed to flex with your lifestyle. The apartments’ thoughtful layouts give professionals dedicated space for home offices, while nearby coworking hubs mean a change of scenery is always close.
Lunch is never far either: Akva offers relaxed canal-side dining, while locals love Soederberg’s cinnamon buns to fuel the afternoon.
Afternoon: City or Sanctuary
Some afternoons call for the buzz of Princes Street, just a short tram or walk away. Others call for calm and here, the landscaped courtyards provide just that. It’s a balance of connection and retreat, woven into your everyday.
Evening: Dinner, Drinks, and a Stroll Home
After work, you’ll have endless options. Neighbourhood favourites include El Cartel for tacos or Borough for seasonal plates. For a laid-back evening, the Lochrin Rooftop Bar is unbeatable for sunset views.
And at the end of the day? A quiet canal-side walk home, where the lights reflect on the water and your apartment is waiting.
Living at New Fountainbridge means your day doesn’t just flow, it inspires.
