Description

Now a Glasgow landmark as an indoor market, the original name 'The Cumming & Smith Building' derived from the warehouse owners who commissioned it from Henry and David Barclay in 1891. The current name comes from the Savoy Cinema, which was accessed through the centre's main door.

This collection of market stalls has managed to maintain itself despite the changing face of the rest of the street. Basically, it's a department store divided into individual stalls offering groceries, furniture, music, fashion, pets and even paintings. Catering to the low end of the market, this is an excellent place to go if a visit to the bigger Barras frightens you. Eavesdrop in the Windows cafe, which offers an excellent view of Sauchiehall Street, and hear plenty of Glasgow patter.
