Getting There
Queen’s Hall is around a 20-minute walk from Edinburgh Waverley. Lothian Buses serve Clerk Street, South Clerk Street, and nearby Nicolson Street, and public transport is usually the easiest option for evening events.
Our Tips
- Check your ticket time before travelling, as some listings give doors rather than a fixed performance start.
- Arrive early if you want time for the bar, toilets, or ticket collection.
- Use public transport where possible, as parking around Clerk Street and Newington can be limited.
