With a strong sense of community – yes locals that really like each other, the area has a lot going for it. Some great schools, a bustling craft market on Saturdays, some lovely parks, lots of period homes and a selection of really good quality independent shops.

And in the centre of it all is North Cross Road, home to the Blue Mountain Café.

Here are some recommendations to visit when you’re in the neighbourhood:
