Sadlergate is a pedestrianised street, situated in the heart of the Cathedral Quarter, rated ‘Best City Location’ in the UK, 2016, in an area which in the last 10 years has reaped the benefit of Historic England’s grant scheme to restore 100 shop fronts back to the original Victorian style.
In addition to the retail offer, almost adjoining, the Council have built a 34,000 sq ft office scheme known as Sadler Bridge Studios, large enough to house 36
businesses.
Sadlergate is the home of the famous coaching inn the Old Bell Hotel, restored to its former glory a few years ago.
Nearby, on St. Mary’s Gate, former offices are to be converted to 50 upmarket apartments. On Victoria Street, St. James Securities are currently building 259 flats.
On The Strand the Museum and Art Gallery pre-pandemic hosted the Leonardo Da Vinci national cartoon exhibition in the Summer of 2019 with record visitors.
