What it is like

  • Period houses
  • Parks and the lido
  • Primary schools

Victorian terraces and 1930s villas around The Willows, the city’s largest park.

Streets of period houses run down to the river, with an open-air lido, a Saturday market and two primary schools within the district. The tram along the embankment reaches the Market Hall in about twelve minutes.

It is the place to look for a house with a garden that still feels close to the centre.

Worth knowing Period houses often need updating; budget for it.
