Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 14:24 · Archive

Crookes in Sheffield has been named the sixth coolest neighbourhood in the UK by Time Out magazine.

Crookes in the west of Sheffield has been ranked the sixth coolest neighbourhood in the UK by Time Out magazine. The area is popular with students and young families and was described by Time Out as 'not flashy or fussy' but packing 'a lot of punch for its size'.

The neighbourhood's restaurants, cafes and bars featured in Time Out's reasoning for the ranking. Local residents and business owners said the area's independent style and tight-knit community are what make it appealing. Maurice Champeau, who has run the Crookes Social Club for 15 years, said: 'We've got a cracking little community in Crookes. We recognise each other's faces. It's almost a village within the city.'

The high street has transformed over the past decade, with property prices rising 'astronomically' according to a local estate agent. Connor Sadler, owner of Cloud Coffee, a speciality coffee shop that moved to the area in 2023, said: 'We wouldn't be anywhere else in the city. We love it up here.'
