Henry Street Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Henry Street
Henry Street is a central Dublin shopping street in D01, running through the north inner city between the River Liffey and Parnell Square, with Abbey Street, Capel Street and Mary Street close by. It has a busy, urban and highly commercial character, with department stores, high-street retailers, cafés and constant pedestrian activity rather than a quiet residential feel. Residents benefit from exceptional access to city-centre employment, cultural venues and everyday services, while Temple Bar and the quays are within a short walk. Jervis Shopping Centre and the Ilac Centre provide a broad range of shops and food outlets, with Tesco and other convenience retailers nearby. Restaurants, cafés and casual dining are plentiful around Henry Street, Capel Street, Mary Street and Temple Bar, while traditional pubs and late bars are concentrated throughout the surrounding north and south city-centre streets. Transport is one of the area’s main strengths, with Luas, Dublin Bus and rail connections close at hand, although traffic, tourism and evening activity can make the district lively. Schools and further-education providers are available across the wider inner city, and amenities such as Parnell Square, the Garden of Remembrance and the Hugh Lane Gallery add cultural and leisure options nearby.
