Moving to a new area is exciting, but it can also feel a bit disorientating at first.
If you’ve just arrived, you might still be finding out where everything is, from the nearest supermarket to a chilled out spot for a coffee.
That’s exactly what this site is for. We wanted to create a simple, practical resource to help you find your feet. Think of this as a collection of local knowledge shared by people who live here, designed to help you feel at home a bit quicker.
More than just a place to visit
The Jewellery Quarter is often written about as a place for visitors, but for those of us who live here, it’s just home. It has a real sense of community where people actually say hello to each other.
It manages to feel separate from the city centre, while still being incredibly easy to reach. While you are only a short metro ride or walk from town, the pace feels different. It’s independent, slightly quieter, and has its own rhythm.
Finding what you need easily
We know that finding your way around usually takes months. You often only find out about the best route to the station or where to drop off a parcel after you’ve lived somewhere for a year.
We want to speed that process up for you. We’ve gathered practical guides on the things you actually need to know, including:
How to get what you need from the guides
The suggestions on this site aren't definitive rules on where you should go. Instead, we’ll share options and choices, places worth knowing about and easy ways to get involved if you want to.
Whether you’re living in an apartment and looking for green space, or you just want to find a new route for your morning walk, we hope you find this useful.
Welcome to the neighbourhood. We’re glad you’re here.
