Central Newcastle is roughly from Central Motorway in the north to the river in the south, Newcastle Helix to the west and maybe as far as Manors to the east.
Market Street is slap bang in the middle of the city centre, a 1-2 minute walk from Greys Monument.
Arguably, Market Street is more convenient as a 'destination', unless you're actually visiting Eldon Square. It's a surprising trek from Eldon Square bus station to anywhere you'd actually want to go!
