When exploring Notts on my day off, we came across Cobden Chambers. You'll come across this hidden space while wondering around the independent, edgy part of Nottingham. The secret alley is positioned opposite Wired and just up the road from Bodega. After being instantly attracted the the pastel coloured sign, we decided to follow the path and see what it takes us too.
The courtyard, which was once used as a photographers studio has been hidden away for almost 20 years until Bilburn, an urban real estate development company decided it was about time this secret garden had some attention. After 7 months the courtyard was transformed into a peaceful shopping experience, which is home to a magazine store, recommended to us by our course leaders, Ideas on Paper.
On one side the walls have be slathered in pastel coloured paint, and the other is covered with brightly coloured artwork. You can grab a coffee and enjoy the peace and quiet on the picnic benches, or you can have a wonder around the stores, particulary Cavology! I'll definitely recommend a visit!
