1820 is a modern rooftop restaurant and bar on Princes Street offering panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle and the city center. The space combines contemporary design with comfortable seating and neon lighting throughout.
The building has long stood in Edinburgh's commercial district on Princes Street, with the entrance area originally serving as retail space. The structure was later converted into this elevated dining and drinking establishment.
