Ailesbury Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ailesbury Road (Bóthar Ailesbury in Irish), Dublin 4, Ireland, is a tree-lined avenue linking Sydney Parade Station on Sydney Parade Avenue and the Church of the Sacred Heart, Donnybrook.

Many embassies and diplomatic residences are located here, including the beautiful residence of the French Ambassador.

The Japanese embassy was there, adjacent to the People's Republic of China embassy, before relocating to the nearby Merrion Centre.

From Ailesbury Road, Shrewsbury Road forms the link to the Merrion Road, though Ailesbury Road proper intersects Merrion Road near its eastern end.

Ailesbury Road is the second-most expensive property on the Irish Monopoly board, being one of the two "purple" property squares.
