Gateshead is a thriving city on the south bank of the River Tyne linked to Newcastle on the north bank by the famous Millennium Bridge, which opens and closes like the blinking of an eye.
It is home to an international athletics stadium, the MetroCentre shopping complex, the famous Angel of the North sculpture and the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art.
Gatehead is part of the Tyne & Wear Metro and has quick and easy connections to both Newcastle Station and Newcastle Airport.
