"Hidden gems offer unique experiences" 8 9 PICCADILLY RIVERSIDE APARTMENTS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE YOUR HOME "Piccadilly living" Piccadilly was named after its grand London counterpart once home to 20th century timber, builders’ and coal merchants and sawmills. Modern day, it’s resolutely urban and oh so central – it’s within the ancient city walls yet this hushed set back development feels like a hidden corner of York, making this iconic YO1 postcode so attractive. Sitting in a prime city centre location, on the banks of the River Foss within the Central Historic Core, this riverside neighbourhood combines modern cool with ancient charisma to such good effect, opposite dramatic and iconic medieval monuments. Piccadilly’s surrounding locality is an enigmatic mix: hip and now, with warehouses, Crittall windows and loft apartments, yet oozing old York character, thanks to ancient churches and centuries-old pubs. Walmgate, just a stone’s throw away, offers a vibrant setting with plenty of opportunity to eat and drink at some of York’s best restaurants and bars. 10 11 PICCADILLY RIVERSIDE APARTMENTS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE 8 6 11 7 5 10 9 4 3 12 YOUR LOCATION 1 2 1 Clifford’s Tower 7 York Theatre Royal 2 York Castle Museum 8 York St John University 3 Coppergate Shopping Centre 9 York Train Station 4 Shambles 10 National Railway Museum 5 Stonegate 11 York Art Gallery 6 York Minster 12 Jorvik Museum 12 13 PICCADILLY RIVERSIDE APARTMENTS A LIFESTYLE CHOICE "Meet your designer" KATE MOONEY Here at OCCA studio we work across design concept.
