A little off the beaten track, but certainly not to be overlooked, Derby Road is a stylish thoroughfare lined with elegant shop fronts. Packed with a suprisingly varied selection of high-quality independent shops, pubs and cafes, this is one of the city's quieter shopping streets and also contains some of Nottingham's most interesting hidden gems!
Enjoy the breathtaking architeacture of Nottingham Cathedral and wander around the corner to find Nottingham Playhouse. Just outside sits the stunning Sky Mirror, with its ever-changing reflections of the clouds and charming street scenery. Designed by internationally renowned artist Anish Kapoor and installed in 2001, this is a perfect spot for taking a few photographs. Walk for a couple of minutes and you'll find another of Nottingham's unusual sites, The Park Tunnel, which was carved from the sandstone rock in 1855 as the main entrance to the Park Estate.
Back on the main road, green fingered types should check out The Worm that Turned. Selling a beautifull curated selection of items for your garden and home, pick up everything from outdoor furniture, firepits, and BBQs to unique accessories and items such as terrariums, birdbaths and garden art. Other shops worth checking out include; the Danish Homestore, The Lime Gallery, The Futon Company, Welch the Florist, Vintage wines LTD and Brown Dog Interiors.
Should you need a breather, there are some lovely unique pubs and eateries on Derby Road. Between The Warsaw Diner and Tough Marys Bakehouse, you're sure to fine something that tickles your fancy, while The Organ Grinder, The Sir John Borlase Warren and A Room with a Brew are all excellent places to find a pint.
