Speedy Shaun disapproves. The government are slags, ma da wis working on the oil rigs when they made him redundent, goverments faiult, thersea may needs to go, as well as that granny-bashing niclda stourgeon.
I grew up in Scotland, but never saw this magnificent building. It rivals the best in London and Europe. Thank you Google for letting me see it.
FREE tours are available at 10.30 and 2.30 weekdays. Ask at reception desk half an hour before a tour starts as tickets are on a first come first served basis.
Very interesting tour with knowledgeable guides. 3 storey Marble staircase very impressive ...the Vatican only has a 2 storey marble staircase!
Glasgow City Council should hang their heads in shame - they organise events in the City centre and do not give any consideration to the people who work in and around George Sq. I work in Queen St. night shift and for example the bike ride that is on today 27/8/17 - the streets are closed from 6am - 6pm I finish at 8am and I have had to move my car to half way along Duke St to avoid being stuck in the city centre or worse, my car being lifted to who knows where?. It's a disgrace - there are plenty of parks and stadiums that should be used for events - the people who work and live in the city centre should not be inconvenienced by these closures, which seems to be on every other weekend. Glasgow City Council need to get their act together.
BE WARNED - POSSIBLE ENTRAPMENT BY CITY COUNCIL CONTRACTORS FOR THOSE WHO SMOKE
As you disembark from your train after a 3 Hr journey 2 Council Contractors could be stood outside the front of the Station ready to serve you with a Fixed Penalty Notice . The Council has generated well over £1m in Revenue on this trumped up money making scheme, whilst providing inadequate signage and facilities. They are so stupid they may target first time visitors leaving the train station who haven't yet started to spend any money in the City. Now how short sighted is that?
Guess what ! - Another that wont be back to spend in your local economy.
They send thousands of penalty notices for bus lanes in Glasgow to Car rental companies. If you are a tourist and rent a car in Glasgow they will send you a fee for entering the bus lanes (you should be very lucky to notice and understand how you should drive in Glasgow center to avoid these lanes and hidden cameras) . On top of that your rental company (Europcar for instance) will charge you with a fee just for receiving a fee in their name!!! That's incredible! You'll end up spending hundreds of pounds just for renting a car in Glasgow. That's how they treat their tourists! Good job City Council and Glasgow's Car Rental Companies I hope that you gain a lot by destroying Scotland's tourism!
The tours are really informative and interesting. I would highly recommend them. I have also held a drinks reception there for a conference I organised. The process of arranging this was smooth and pleasent and the speech the lord provosts representative made at the reception was well written.
The building is gorgeous. Was quite excited to see the interior after somebody mentioned how beautiful it was. It is beautiful, very beautiful. However, the on staff receptionist was quite rude. Looking at the reviews, I'd guess this is a familiar experience.
This building is a great piece of Georgian architecture, both inside and out. Whilst the outside looks grand, stepping inside takes it up several notches, with the marbled staircases and huge ceilings. If you get the chance to visit do take it, it is worth it.
Waiting times to speak with an advisor at Glasgow city council are unbelievable! 35 minutes to speak with someone. The staff are not adequately train and have minimal knowledge of the area they work in, regularly being put on hold for long periods of time and as for customer satisfaction? No training, poor staff quality and no sign of improvement!
Despite having opening hours from 9-5pm try getting them to answer their phone after 3pm on a Friday #workethic, #taxpayermoney
Very nice interior. Worth a tour. Council chambers can be visited too
