Jesmond is an affluent and characterful inner suburb of Newcastle upon Tyne, situated approximately two kilometres north of the city centre. It is best known for the magnificent woodland parkland of Jesmond Dene, gifted to the city by industrialist and inventor Lord William Armstrong in the 19th century, and for the vibrant hospitality scene along Osborne Road. With its handsome Victorian terraces, excellent schools, strong Metro connections and a thriving independent business community, Jesmond is consistently one of the most sought-after residential areas in the North East.
