UPPER GRAND CANAL STREET CLOSE TO LOVE LANE

In Temple Bar there is a laneway or an alleyway connecting Essex Street to Dame Street and in recent years I have overheard tour guides incorrectly referring to it as Love Lane when in fact it is Crampton Court. There are two possible reasons the major one being that there is a mural consisting of tiles by Anna Doran and the installation is named “Love Lane”. Also “Love the Lanes” is a joint initiative between Dublin City Council and the Temple Bar Company to bring new life to the back lanes of Temple Bar.

Love Lane is located off Upper Grand Canal Street in Dublin, Ireland. It’s near an apartment complex known as The Northumberlands. The area in general is well-serviced with a variety of amenities and is in close proximity to several notable locations.

For instance, it’s near Mount Street Bridge and the Grand Canal. It’s also within walking distance of Trinity College Dublin, The Aviva Stadium, Grand Canal Dock, the IFSC, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland, RDS Arena, and St. Brigid’s Primary School on Haddington Road.

The area is well-connected with public transport, being on the main bus route to the city from South Dublin and within walking distance of the DART station at Barrow Street and the Docklands. There’s also excellent shopping on nearby Baggot Street, along with an abundance of fine restaurants, hotels, and pubs.
