Where to stay in Crosshill
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Queen's Drive sets the address. Beds in Crosshill mean a residential burgh street rather than a hotel district, with Queen's Park West Church, Queen's Park Baptist Church and Hall and a Seventh Day Adventist Church along one road. Balvicar Drive holds Camphill Queen's Park Church a few streets off. Glasgow annexed the burgh and kept the room supply, which leaves Crosshill to Dixon Avenue and its exhibition hall.

About Crosshill
What are the main landmarks in Crosshill?
Queen's Drive carries three of the district's landmarks in a row: Queen's Park West Church, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, and Queen's Park Baptist Church and Hall. Balvicar Drive adds two more. Camphill Queen's Park Church stands there with its own church hall listed separately.
Dixon Avenue holds an exhibition hall, and among the glass of the district are windows dedicated to Jane Haining.
What is the history of Crosshill?
Crosshill kept its own burgh. From 1871 until 1891 the district ran as an independent police burgh, and at the end of that stretch the City of Glasgow annexed it. The churches on Queen's Drive outlasted the arrangement.
Camphill Queen's Park Church on Balvicar Drive and the stained glass windows dedicated to Jane Haining are what the registers keep from the burgh's own ground.
Where is Crosshill?
Crosshill sits south of the River Clyde within Glasgow, a compact former burgh whose spine is Queen's Drive.
