Sheffield in General Reviews

Let me start by saying I am not Yorkshire born and bred so this is actually a fairly unbiased review. I am from the Lake District originally and came here to go to University so the relocation was not as a result of a strong desire to live in Sheffield particularly. However, here I am 8 years later! So what made me ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield like most cities has good and bad points. Transport There are good transport links to sheffield and lots of ways of getting around. The M1 offers a quick way to get to sheffield. The national express runs coaches to here and there is a large train station. While in Sheffield there are two main bus companies ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield is the place where i was born and have lived here all my life. I am a Yorkshire lass, born and bred (and i have had a few comments about my accent!!!! Apparently i have a broad Yorkshire accent!). Over the years Sheffield has had its ups and downs, just as much as any other city, but with the re-development of the town centre ...  Read the complete review

MY REVIEW IS ABOUT SHOPPING IN SHEFFIELD CITY CENTRE. I visited Sheffield and to be totally honest didn't really like it. I had always thought that it would be a pretty large city with a range of great shops. My aim of the visit was to go to Sheffields museum to see the Vivienne Westwood exhabition. After getting off the ...  Read the complete review

Five years after my last visit to Sheffield left me feeling rather underwhelmed, the South Yorkshire city renowned for steel and cutlery manufacture has received a city centre facelift. Its collection of fine Victorian buildings at the heart of the city has been enhanced by the addition of a magnificent modern piazza, called the Peace Gardens, in ...  Read the complete review

Having lived in SHEFFIELD for 8 years, I have found this city to be alive, theres so much to do here, as i work in a night club i see all the local people, really the night life is so real, we have the top nightspots in the country and people come from far and wide. I also work at both the football grounds in the city as a steward, and ...  Read the complete review

Having recently graduated from university and moved back to south, I realised once again that Sheffield (where I spent 3 years of my life) is one of the most underrated cities of England, with everyone having the impression that Sheffield is only the "Steel City"and nothing more. What I will try to do here is give 6 ...  Read the complete review

It’s a strange feeling I must admit to be contemplating leaving the place you call home. This weekend I depart the city I have lived in for the past four years, I’m leaving although sadly not on a jetplane. So as a kind of tribute to my time in the city I am penning this opinion. Sheffield may have not always the most pleasant place ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield in South Yorkshire was once the greatest producer of Steel in the whole world. The City built its reputation on quality steel, in particular the craftsmanship that went into the cutlery made there. Today there are only a few small steel companies left in the City, but the decline in the steel industry has not led to the decline ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Sheffield for 5 years and I loved it. I now live somewhere with no atmosphere, which makes me yearn for Sheffield even more. Being a student in Sheffield was great - the uni is lovely, and Broomhill gorgeous. There is such a buzz about the place, and being so close to the Peak District and all that beautiful scenery and walking ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Sheff for 3 years, and was very sorry to leave recently. It has everything you could really want from a city. It is leafy, it has friendly people, it has good shopping facilities (namely Meadowhall – the out-of-town shopping centre, and The Forum (the alternative shopping experience “No meadows, no sheep” – says ...  Read the complete review

I visited York in August 99, and I found it a bit boring. It is great if you are really interested in the historical side of it, such as the minster and the vikings which were origianly there, but for children, teenagers and young people there is very little of interest. I visited the Jorvick Viking Centre, which I thought was very overrated. ...  Read the complete review

Who on earth couldn't like York? It is one of *the* most beautiful cities in England. Sitting on the river Ouse, with the castle walls gracing the edge of the city it is a fine place to visit for young and old alike. There are lots of pubs, restaurants and fast food outlets, a nice selection of high street and more unusual shops for ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield as a few good points like the sport facilities and shopping centres like don valley and meadowhall, which do bring millions into sheffield each year. They also attract massive pop stars with exellent concert, like the tina turner and lionel richy one i went to last week. However sheffield is still rather run down in areas with ...  Read the complete review

I'm definitely biased - I was born and live all but 4 years of my life here, but I've lived in manchester, been everywhere else enough times, and sheffield rocks! The most creative city around, full stop, we produce more musicians, artists and designers than anywhere else, and the nightlife is superb, from the hands in the air partying at ...  Read the complete review

What can I say about this place? Well ive lived here for 21 years now, and loved every minute. Wherever you are, youre never more than about 15minutes from breathtaking scenery, rolling hills and the beautiful sight of the hills on all sides of the town centre. Of course, the big out of town shopping centre that is Meadowhall™ has ...  Read the complete review

Sheffield, home of the Full Monty, but there is much more to this great city than a bunch of male strippers...! Honest! Culturally there's alot going on , there's two theatres, the Crucible(home of the snooker world cup) and the Lyceum, a multitude of cinemas (Sheffield apparently has the highest number of cinema screens per head ...  Read the complete review

I lived in Sheffield for two years and thought it was a fantastic place then and think it still is now. However on a recent visit to the city centre I was quite dismayed to see just how shabby it looks in places. Yes, it had some nice bits but my overall impression was that a lot of it could do to be bulldozed and start again as the road ...  Read the complete review

My opinion on Sheffield may be biased because I live there but I just love it. In Sheffield there is something for everyone! There is Meadowhall for the mad shoppers because meadowhall is shopping heaven. There are clubs every where for people who like going clubbing. There are the peace gardens for people who just want to sit and relax!There is ...  Read the complete review
