Hyndland, on the G11/G12 boundary, has some of the city's widest tenement closes, which helps with furniture access.
For moves within the West End — G12 to G11 or Dowanhill to Broomhill — transit is five to 10 minutes.
For cross-city moves from the West End to south Glasgow, Dennistoun, or Maryhill, allow 20 to 35 minutes.
