The Georgian mile is an unofficial term used to describe a continuous, near mile-long thoroughfare largely lined with Georgian townhouses in Dublin, Ireland. It comprises Fitzwilliam Place, Fitzwilliam Square East, Fitzwilliam Street, and Merrion Square East, and was built between the 1780s and the 1830s.
According to The Irish Times, the stretch was once "the longest and arguably the finest Georgian streetscape in the world." A Dublin Tourism brochure claimed that it was the "longest complete Georgian thoroughfare in Europe until the 1960s, when a row of houses was replace by a modern office block."
