Bridgeton Cross
Bridgeton Cross is a major junction in the Bridgeton area in the East End of the city of Glasgow, UK. The junction is the meeting point of London Road (A74 towards Celtic Park), Dalmarnock Road (A749), Main Street, James Street (leading to Glasgow Green), Olympia Street and Orr Street.
The intersection is notable for the "Brigton Umbrella", a Victorian cast iron bandstand covering the centre of the Cross. The landmark structure and surrounds was renovated in the early 21st century, resulting in improved public realm areas and the complete refurbishment of the Umbrella.
Bridgeton Cross is the location for Bridgeton railway station, which is on the Argyle Line connecting it to central Glasgow. A number of local buses also pass along London Road and Dalmarnock Road.
The Cross is also the location for the Olympia Theatre (built 1911), which after lying abandoned for many years has undergone rebuilding and reopened in 2012 as a library and community facility for the people of Bridgeton.
There are several public houses in the vicinity, with most themed around Rangers F.C.
