Hillhead subway station is a station on the Glasgow Subway, serving the Hillhead area of Glasgow, Scotland, and is the principal station that serves the city's West End. The entrance is located on Byres Road.
This station is the nearest to Glasgow Botanic Gardens and the University of Glasgow.
The station is one of the busiest on the system with 1.86 million boardings per year.[8] This is largely due to the shopping facilities of Byres Road and proximity to the university, which allows students to travel between campus and the city centre.
