Covering: Gorbals, Laurieston, Hutchesontown, Oatlands, Tradeston.
The local landmark: The Citizens Theatre on Gorbals Street and Glasgow Central Mosque on the south bank of the Clyde.
Students: City of Glasgow College's Riverside campus stands beside the Clyde at Thistle Street.
On the ground: The rebuilt Gorbals is mainly modern mid-rise blocks with lifts and new-build terraces, a far easier job than the district's tenement past. If your place means stairs with no lift, choose Assisted and the two-person crew carries everything (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor, £30 for 4th and up).
While you wait for the van: In the early twentieth century the Gorbals was one of the most densely populated places in Europe, with around 90,000 people living in less than a square mile.
