Billboard ranking points
Scored by Blindspot's location intelligence on visibility, dwell time, and footfall (directional, 1–10). Every one is bookable by the hour on the platform.
The Tyne Bridge and Quayside form the city's most photographed stretch, busy with riverside diners by day and a strong going-out crowd after dark.
Grey Street's Georgian curve carries dense office and dining traffic through Grainger Town, the commercial heart of the centre.
Northumberland Street and the Eldon Square centre draw the region's heaviest pedestrian shopping flow, peaking on weekends.
Newcastle United's ground sits in the centre, dropping a 50,000-strong matchday crowd onto the surrounding blocks on fixture days.
The A1 western bypass carries the heaviest cross-Tyneside drive-time flow, strong for frequency against commuters.

Location insights
Newcastle reads as one tight river city: the Quayside and Tyne Bridge anchor the south edge, Grey Street and Grainger Town carry the daytime office and retail flow, and Eldon Square pulls the shopping crowd. St James' Park drops 50,000 matchday fans into the centre on fixture days, and the Bigg Market and Diamond Strip own the late nights. The Tyne and Wear Metro threads the lot together with student and commuter traffic from Gosforth and the coast. Buy the Grey Street office daypart and the Quayside weekend peak.
Grey Street and the main arteries surge 7:30–10 AM and 5–8 PM. Book exactly those hours and your frequency climbs for the same budget.
St James' Park and the city's malls hold heavy footfall from noon to evening, long windows where dwell and shopping intent, not rush, do the work.
Quayside shifts from daytime to social and tourism after dark. Different audience, same screens, swap the creative, not the location.
Location intelligence summary
Newcastle upon Tyne doesn't have one rush hour; it has rotating audiences sharing the same streets. The only buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the windows when your audience owns the city, skip the ones when it doesn't.
| Objective | Book these zones | Best hours |
|---|---|---|
| Brand launch | Quayside + Grey Street | 6–11 PM |
| Commuter frequency | Eldon Square, Grey Street | 7:30–10 AM · 5–8 PM |
| Retail foot traffic | St James' Park, Quayside | 12–8 PM |
| B2B / decision-makers | A1 western bypass corridor, Grey Street | Weekdays 9 AM–6 PM |
| Tourism & events | Quayside, Ouseburn | 10 AM–8 PM |
A month-long 24/7 rotation pays for 3 AM plays nobody sees. Hourly booking concentrates the same budget into Newcastle upon Tyne’s proven peak windows, and typically saves 30%+ versus a flat four-week flight.
Morning commuters read in 2 seconds; evening crowds dwell for minutes. Run different creative by hour on the same screens, even trigger swaps on weather or live data.
