Ward in Glasgow City, Scotland

Coordinates:55.827, -4.258
OS grid ref:NS 58 61
Dialling code: 0141 (Glasgow)

Langside is a south‑side ward of Glasgow centred on the leafy suburb around Queen's Park, stretching towards Shawlands and Battlefield. It mixes Victorian and Edwardian tenements and villas with conservation streets, and a busy local high‑street scene of independent cafés, pubs and small shops that gives the area a village feel despite being within easy commuting distance of the city centre.

The ward is historically notable for the 1568 Battle of Langside, and today benefits from good rail links via Langside and Queen's Park stations and plentiful green space, with the park offering broad views towards the Campsie Fells. That combination of history, parks and a diverse local community makes it popular with families, young professionals and students.
