There’s lots to discover beyond campus. Our students love living in local neighbourhoods with big student populations, like Crookes and Broomhill.

Division Street is a ten minute walk from campus, and is lined with independent vintage shops, cafes and bars.

Kelham Island, two minutes away from the campus by tram, has been voted one of the world’s coolest neighbourhoods.

Broomhill, Crookes and Crookesmoor

Broomhill is a short walk from campus, on your way to the Endcliffe/Ranmoor residences. Crookes and Crookesmoor are just next to Broomhill. A lot of students – especially second and third years – rent houses here so they can be more independent.

You’ll find busy high streets with a good range of shops, from pharmacies, banks and charity shops, to zero-waste shops and supermarkets.  All areas are on main bus routes, with buses roughly every ten minutes to campus and the city.

---

Broomhill is full of cute cafes, funky charity shops, cool pubs and delicious restaurants. Personal recommendations would be Proove for some of the best pizza you’ve ever tasted.

Another fantastic area to explore nearby is Crookes, home to one of the best places to visit – Bolehills park. On any given night, groups of students can be found huddled on picnic blankets watching the sunset over 91̽»¨

Kelham Island

Two minutes from campus by tram and a short walk away from the city centre, there’s one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world* waiting to be explored.

*Kelham Island is the 35th coolest neighbourhood on the world, according to Time Out 2022

Student picks:

• - the biggest independent food hall in the north of England. Everything from Korean fried chicken to burgers and tacos
• - gastro-café serving homemade dishes with amazing salads
• - pizza and beers
• - drinks and plant-based food
• - Mexican bar and taqueria.
• - 100% vegan bar and street food kitchen

If you love music, the regular gigs at Yellow Arch Studios – where the Arctic Monkeys began – are a great introduction to 91̽»¨â€™s grass roots scene. And there are microbreweries, indie shops and art galleries in the area.

But for me, Kelham Island’s biggest draw is the huge variety of amazing food
