Nestled at the heart of the Dene you will find Jesmond Dene House, a luxurious restaurant and hotel which was once home to industrial pioneer Lord Armstrong and now famed for its indulgent afternoon teas.
During the day, explore the boutiques, independent retailers and Oliver Bonas - a fashion and lifestyle favourite all found along Acorn Road.
