You're smack bang in the middle of it! On Burton Road you'll find plenty of independents with everything you might need, roasts at Volta on a Sunday followed by live music at Wine and Wallop 5-8pm, drinks at Folk on a Friday night followed by a curry at Great Kathamandu... Maybe a take out from Wok and Flame after some live music at Rustik or even go wedding dress shopping at The White Closet!

Take a right out of the alley and a right at the crossroads and you'll see a couple of bus stops on Palatine Road. If you cross over the road, buses head into the city centre via the Universities (best way to get to the Universities or hospitals) via Curry Mile. 143 starts here and ends in the City Centre at Piccadilly Gardens. You can also catch the 43. Staying on the same side of the road as the job centre - that direction takes you to the airport on the 43 bus
