There is also a wide variety of retail outlets, including the Ocean Terminal shopping centre, which boasts high street stores, family restaurants, a 24-hour gym, and
a multiplex cinema. Lively annual festivals enrich the strong cultural scene, already buzzing with live music venues, galleries, and artist studios. The area also incorporates The Shore, a scenic waterfront hosting cosy pubs and fine dining with some award-winning restaurants. Amidst all the activity, tranquil green spaces, such as Leith Links and Claremont Park,
