When it comes to shopping in Nottingham, it really does depend on what you need as to what part you head to. Some of the areas in town have become real hubs for things like creative studios, quirky or independent shops, Takeaways or even outside dining.
If you need independent shops then Sneinton market normally has you covered but you might head to Maid Marian Way if you wanted to try a curry. Alternatively, if you were interested in eating outside then you might head into Hockley for a bite and a pint in the sun.
There are some roads that are a bit more of a mystery such as Mansfield Road. It's been longer than I care to admit since I lived on Mansfield Road over the top of Natural Food Company so I've seen a lot of changes over the years. It was originally, back in 2013, full of takeaways with a few decent pubs like The Maze but it wasn't really the type of place that you stopped for a chat.
