Living in Derby

Overview

Derby is the UK’s most central city, with great connections to major cities Manchester, Nottingham, Sheffield and Birmingham -- but significantly less daunting in scale. The Cathedral Quarter, St Peter’s Quarter and the Intu Derby shopping area make up Derby’s main hits: find Victorian grandeur, independent cafes and boutiques lining the former two, whilst the latter serves all your contemporary retail needs. A green escape is never far out of reach with the likes of Alvaston Park, Markeaton Park, Allestree Park and more -- not to mention the Peak District just a drive away.
