Why Live in Spital Tongues?
Spital Tongues is a small, almost village-like area directly adjacent to Newcastle University's main campus, particularly close to the medical and dental schools. It's incredibly quiet and residential, yet you can be on campus in two minutes. It's a small area with limited housing, making it highly sought-after.
- The absolute closest you can live to Newcastle University.
- A very quiet and safe area, perfect for studying.
- Right next to the huge green space of the Town Moor.
- A unique, historic character that feels separate from the city.
Travel & Commute
You walk everywhere. It's a 2-minute walk to the university library and a 10-minute walk into the heart of the city.
Food, Drink & Social
Very limited. There is one local pub, but for anything else, you walk into the city centre. Its social life is its proximity to everywhere else.
Accommodation Style
Mainly older terraced housing and some Tyneside flats. Properties are often smaller and highly sought-after due to the location.
