There is immediate access onto South Street with its vibrant street market, eateries and Electric Palace cinema/theatre, art centre, St Mary's Church, allotment gardens and community orchard, borough gardens, library and Bucky Doo Square which hosts a variety of events and festivals all year round.
There is a vibrant local community, lots of alternative venues, the artists' and vintage quadrant as well as Soup Kitchen and Outdoor Bowls Club and a Leisure Centre with indoor swimming pool.
