What it's famous for
Broomhill and Sharrow Vale is one of Sheffield's most culturally rich neighbourhoods, long associated with the city's thriving independent food and café scene. Sharrow Vale Road in particular has been recognised nationally as one of England's best independent shopping streets, home to acclaimed delis, wine merchants and artisan bakeries.
