Arts & Culture
An award winning local theatre (and cinema) which has attracted much attention in the press, as many of its plays tend to move on to the West End - watch them here first! Book well in advance.

Drinks & Nightlife
There's the Salusbury Deli on the corner, as well as the Pub and Restaurant next door. Don't go to Jack's opposite. Not good. The Restaurant at the Salusbury is very nice indeed and lovely atmosphere!

The biggest supermarket nearby. Generally very good but I still prefer the M&S just a little further down. I get my basics here (i.e. Alpro Soya Milk), and top up with niceties at M&S.
