Glasgow Cross is at the hub of the ancient royal burgh and now the city of Glasgow, Scotland, close to its first crossing over the River Clyde. As a major junction in the city center, its five streets run north up the High Street to Glasgow Cathedral, Cathedral Square and the Royal Infirmary; east along Gallowgate and London Road, close to St Andrew's Square; south on the Saltmarket to Glasgow Green and the High Court; and its own Trongate continuing west as Argyle Street towards St Enoch Square and Buchanan Street. Its most recognizable features are the Tolbooth Steeple, part of the 17th-century tolbooth, and the Mercat cross replica commissioned in 1929 by William George Black, and designed by architect Edith Hughes. In its civic and commercial make-up, many of the surrounding wholesale and manufacturing warehouses now operate as creative venues, galleries, and art studios. Linked to the Tolbooth stood the Tontine Hotel and its Assembly Rooms, designed from 1737 by architect Allan Dreghorn with adaptations in 1781 by architect William Hamilton of St Andrew's Square. The Tontine was the exchange center of early mercantile business and the focal point of political and social gatherings. A number of artist paintings over the centuries depict Glasgow Cross, the Tolbooth, and Tontine. In front of the Tontine was placed the equestrian statue of King William III, erected in 1734; now sited at Cathedral Square. Glasgow Cross, in front of the Tontine, was the starting point of the regular passenger and mail coaches to Edinburgh and to London.
