Nottingham's secret alleyways: Discover the creative independents of Cobden Chambers

Nottingham has some amazing hidden gems that can be found down the winding alleyways and hidden streets. While there are some real treats to be found by wandering off the beaten track, what is life like for some of the city's businesses in these locations?

Cobden Chambers has a long history of housing some of Nottingham's best-loved alternative businesses such as The Front Room hairdressers, Studio Chocolate and jewellery designers, Keishi. Frequent visitors may also remember some of the gems we have loved and lost such as Ideas on Paper, Amala Living Foods, Forever Records and URSA Minor Apparel.

The quiet little street is home to many independent businesses in the city including The Front Room hair salon, Studio Chocolate, Cobden Co-working space, Hopkinson and the cafe. The success of these businesses is a testament to how hard the owners and their teams have worked to get the space looking and feeling as vibrant as it does.
