Turf Lodge is an inner‑city neighbourhood in Belfast, located in West Belfast a short distance from the city centre. Its name recalls the area's past use for cutting turf, and the neighbourhood is typified by mid‑20th century council housing, tight terraces and small local shops clustered around community hubs.
The area has a strong working‑class identity and, like much of west Belfast, carries the legacy of the Troubles alongside active community solidarity and regeneration efforts. Local groups and projects focus on youth work, housing improvement and cultural expression, with murals and grassroots initiatives reflecting both the political history and a push towards social and economic renewal.
