city centre is not exactly thriving
Fortunately I am no longer a city centre type of person. Probably one of the reasons I am looking to leave London.
Have been looking at a few places around Nether Edge, so nice to get a recommendation for it, cheers.
Eejit-
I was at Sheffield polytechnic from 88-91. Lived in nether edge in a shitty shared house and our local was the Broadfield aka the Broadmoor. I used to love drinking at the Porter cottage and putting James Taylor Quartet on the juke box.. happy skint days. I still have a soft spot for Sheffield as you can tell!

Sheffield is great - pubs are great, peaks access is great. Its a bit of weird place in that the city centre is not exactly thriving (though new development is happening) but lots of the suburbs are really really good with lots of stuff happening.
We initially moved to Nether Edge and I'd highly recommend there - a peaceful enclave between the more grimy pubs/bars/bakeries/kebabs of Abbeydale and London Roads, and the mix of the students and posh of Sharrow and Ecclesall Road.
On the best side for the peaks as well, escaping up Ringinglow Road. Or off road, can ride from Endcliff Park, out along the Porter Brook up the Mountain Bike tracks at Lady Cannings completely off road.
