Henry Street Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Henry Street
Henry Street is one of Dublin city centre’s principal shopping streets, running through the north inner city between O’Connell Street and the Liffey, with Abbey Street, Capel Street, Mary Street and Parnell Square close by. It has a busy, urban and highly central character, with substantial daytime footfall, a broad mix of national retailers and convenient access to the city’s cultural and entertainment districts. Residents are within easy walking distance of schools and further education around the north city centre, while Trinity College Dublin and several city-centre colleges are accessible by public transport. Luas, rail and extensive bus services make commuting particularly straightforward, although the area is lively, heavily trafficked and less suburban in feel. Shopping is especially convenient, with Jervis Shopping Centre, the Ilac Centre and nearby independent shops on Capel Street and Mary Street. Restaurants, cafés and traditional pubs are plentiful around Henry Street, Abbey Street, Temple Bar and Capel Street, covering casual dining, international food and evening venues. O’Connell Street, the Ha’penny Bridge, the River Liffey and nearby cultural attractions provide distinctive city-centre landmarks, while parks and green space such as the Garden of Remembrance and St Stephen’s Green are reachable on foot or by short public-transport journey.
