"Just outside the station, the Nottingham Canal runs alongside the building – a wonderfully peaceful spot for a walk or a few minutes of fresh air before or after your train. 200 Degrees on Carrington Street offers coffee from one of the UK’s finest independent specialty roasters – and is just a 2-minute walk from the station. Just next to the station, the Brew Tavern is one of Nottingham’s best spots for a pre-departure drink – a cosy micro pub serving a range of craft beers and ales."
