This black commemorative plaque records: The Booking Office. This historic building, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, looks west across Princes Street Gardens. In 1846, The North British Railway Company built a station at this end of the gardens - now, all that remains is the much-modelled booking office. Originally, it had nine arches at the front. The wings on either side were slightly set back, each being three arches wide and seven arches deep. The booking office later became the parcels office, until around 1984. It was then converted into licensed premises, before becoming a restaurant and later this Wetherspoon free house. These premises were refurbished by J D Wetherspoon and opened in June 2016. Recorded plaque organisation: J. D. Wetherspoon.
