Henry Street Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Henry Street
Henry Street is one of Dublin city centre’s principal shopping streets, running through the north inner city between O’Connell Street and the Capel Street–Mary Street area, with the D01 district extending around it. It has a distinctly urban, busy character, with department stores, high-street retailers, cafés and services bringing substantial pedestrian activity throughout the day. Residents are close to Temple Bar, Abbey Street, Parnell Square and the cultural and historic attractions of central Dublin, while the surrounding streets offer a broad choice of restaurants, traditional pubs and casual food venues. Jervis Shopping Centre and the Ilac Centre provide convenient everyday shopping, with Tesco and other city-centre services nearby; Currys is useful for electrical goods and technology. Transport is a major advantage, with Abbey Street Luas stop, Jervis Luas stop, O’Connell Street bus corridors and Dublin Bus routes all within easy walking distance, while Connolly Station and Heuston Station are accessible by public transport. Nearby education includes primary and secondary schools, further-education providers and the colleges and language schools concentrated across the city centre. Green space is more limited than in a suburban neighbourhood, although Parnell Square, the Garden of Remembrance, St Stephen’s Green and the Phoenix Park are reachable for larger parks and leisure outings. The area suits people who value walkability, city-centre convenience and immediate access to Dublin’s shops, theatres, galleries, nightlife and civic amenities rather than quiet residential streets.
