Heuston

Heuston is a district in Dublin, Ireland, primarily known as the location of Heuston Station, one of the city's major railway termini. The station, originally named Kingsbridge Station, was renamed in 1966 to commemorate the Irish nationalist Seán Heuston, who was executed in 1916. Heuston Station serves as a central hub for intercity rail services connecting Dublin to various parts of Ireland, including Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford.

The area surrounding Heuston Station is undergoing significant development, with a growing number of residential, commercial, and cultural facilities. Adjacent to the station is the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA), housed in the historic Royal Hospital Kilmainham. This landmark building, with its extensive grounds, contributes to the cultural significance of the Heuston area.

Beyond the station and IMMA, Heuston is also home to the National Archives of Ireland and several business parks. The Phoenix Park, one of Europe's largest enclosed urban parks, is located within walking distance of the station, offering recreational and natural spaces to residents and visitors. The district is well-served by public transport, including bus routes and the Luas Red Line tram service, which has a stop directly at the station, facilitating easy access to and from the city center and other key locations in Dublin.
