This subway station is a ten-minute walk away, and you can get to Kelvinbridge in the West end in 12 minutes - we recommend getting a Smart card to make it cheaper.
There are trains every 15 minutes from Pollokshields East (a five-minute walk from our house). It costs £1.90 return and it only takes 5 minutes to get to central station.

Round the corner, this is a great wee local supermarket that sells all sorts of spices, interesting Asian foods and very cheap chicken (it’s only £5 a kilo and one chicken breast can feed two people!)
