The Abbeydale Picture House opened on 20 December 1920 and is now Grade II listed, and it still anchors the road. Around it is one of Sheffield's best runs of independent food and drink, with North Town, the Broadfield, Two Thirds and Forge Bakehouse all along the road. Nether Edge sits just behind it, a quieter residential neighbourhood.

Broomhill has been a conservation area since 1977, and its Victorian streets include at least 20 listed buildings, plus work by the local architects Flockton and Abbott. The high street does good daytime cafés and an easy evening meal, with Nam Song, Bon, Napoli Centro and the newly opened Cats all here.

Around them: coffee at 2323 and Caffè Tucci, cocktails at Public beneath the Town Hall, cider at the Old Shoe, and Maria and Grazie for dinner.

Ecclesall Road runs 3.6 miles out from the city centre. It is one of Sheffield's main strips for restaurants, coffee, pubs and bars, and it runs close to the Botanical Gardens and Endcliffe Park. The gardens opened in 1836 and are a Grade II registered park and garden. The park is the first of the Porter Valley parks, which lead out towards the Peak District. Just off the main road, Sharrow Vale Road is smaller and more local, a long-standing run of independent shops, cafés and food traders.

Fulwood sits on the western side of the city, out along Fulwood Road. Its pick is the Rising Sun, a pub since around 1860 and run by Abbeydale Brewery since 2005.

Kelham Island is a man-made island, created by a goit cut in the 1180s to carry water from the Don to the Town Corn Mill. It sat at the heart of Sheffield's metal trades, and in 1985 it became one of the country's first industrial conservation areas. It's also home to some of the city's best old pubs, including the Fat Cat, Shakespeare's, the Kelham Island Tavern, the Wellington, the Harlequin and the Gardeners Rest, with Domo for dinner.

Park Hill was built between 1957 and 1960 on the hill above the station, opened in 1961, and has been Grade II* listed since 1998.

Pearl, Bench La Cave and South Street Kitchen are right on the doorstep.
