Get the picture? Good, cheap food, lots of new and second-hand bookshops, a cinema, many cafés, several pubs and bars, and a thriving ‘alternate’ queer culture (although not quite so alternate as it once was). There are still lots of second-hand furniture places at the South end of King Street, and funky hairdressers, gothic clothing shops (and more food) in Enmore Road; as well as two theatres, the New and the Enmore.
It’s also easy to get to, with several bus routes and two rail lines nearby.
