Helen says: With its eclectic mix of multi-cultural restaurants, galleries & shops; delightful Victorian buildings, seasoned with art deco & spiced with ultra-modern architectural statements; more characters than a good novel; the fast pulse of an urban centre which maintains tremendous soul & always something different to do, it always delights.
