One of our favourite pubs. Good range of beers here. As its a basement bar, we would probably prefer the Stockbridge Tap during the summer.

Essentials

We are lucky to have a Waitrose as the closet supermarket to our flat. Like Whole Foods in the USA, but more affordable.

Instead of buying from iTunes, buy your CDs here and the money goes to charity (instead of Steve Jobs). I have picked up some great CDs here.

Branch of the Napiers Pharmacy. Good for nice smelling gifts and natural remedies. (The icon on the map is a bit wrong. It is a bit further up the street from the Library, at the next intersection)

Arts & Culture

The Modern Art and Dean Galleries are a short walk from the flat. A nice shortcut is through the Dean Cemetery. Good cafes at both galleries.
