Blackfriars is an oasis of calm just a minute from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
This former monastery, dating from the late 13th century and later used as a meeting place for the city‘s craft guilds, has now been renovated and is home to craft shops, an award winning restaurant (aptly named Blackfriars) and an outdoor meeting place. There’s also a large grassed courtyard; a perfect place to relax.
