Sandyford

A suburb of two halves — the business district around the Luas terminus, with the Beacon Hospital and modern office parks, and the older residential streets that predate the commercial transformation. Sandyford's connectivity has improved dramatically since the Green Line arrived, drawing development and raising the area's profile. The Lamb Doyle's and Blue Light pubs on the road toward the mountains mark the point where suburban Dublin gives way to something wilder.
