Let’s not pretend it’s paradise. The town centre is, how do I put this nicely… a bit rough around the edges. There’s a lot of charity shops and a Greggs. It’s not Instagram-worthy, but it’s functional. You’ll find your essentials, but don’t expect a designer boutique.
Also, nightlife? It exists, but it’s not electric. Think cozy pubs and the occasional dive bar, not London clubbing. If you’re a party animal, you might feel a bit like a caged tiger. But hey, you can always hop on that high-speed train to Soho.
