Mespil Road

Dublin's embassy belt and most prestigious residential address, where Ailesbury Road and Shrewsbury Road set the tone for the entire district. Herbert Park's 32 acres of open ground balance the density of Victorian and Edwardian villas developed on the Pembroke Estate from the 1880s. The RDS hosts the annual Horse Show, the Aviva Stadium stands on the southern boundary, and the DART at Lansdowne Road connects this leafy quarter to the coast in minutes.
