CANTERBURY
city guide
I’M JULIA (JULES). I’M IN THE
Chemistry, the most popular
THIRD YEAR, STUDYING MARKETING club, which is comprised of three
floors with varying music genres.
AT CANTERBURY CHRIST CHURCH
However, my personal favourite
is Alberry’s. On a Friday night,
UNIVERSITY AND I LIVE IN
this bar opens its basement and hosts
a night of indie and rock music which is
CANTERBURY, JUST OFF
more to my taste, plus there are more
non-alcoholic alternatives available, so
STURRY ROAD.
GREAT NIGHT OUT
The best way to start any
night is with your closest
friends and housemates;
and nothing goes
hand-in-hand with
social interaction
like a takeaway! Domino’s pizza is always
a good choice, and has multiple deals
available to get the most for your money.
Ordering as a group means you save
money, so you can order those chicken
wings you love so much! If you fancy
something a little more exciting, Palace
Chinese Takeaway means you can curb
those chow-mein cravings for under a
fiver. After a delicious meal, it’s off to
your nearest supermarket to stock up
on pre- drinks, soda and a quick trip to
the cash machine before heading out.
There are a multitude of clubs available
in Canterbury. Across the road from
Canterbury East Train Station is Club

there is something for everyone to enjoy
at the bar. On the walk (or stumble)
home, I always like to stop off at Efes
Kebabs. The friendly customer service,
generous helpings and lashings of burger
sauce will replace those sickly feelings in
your tummy with warm deliciousness!
BEST PLACES TO EAT
Canterbury is home to many high street
restaurant chains; McDonald’s, Subway,
Nandos, Wagamama, Pizza Express and,
of course, Wetherspoons. All these places
offer reliable food you know and love
from home. However, this is university!
Try something new! Café Du Soleil just
over from the Westgate Towers serves
delicious, high-quality food cooked on
an open fire for prices even the poorest
student can afford! Tacos Locos is also
a fantastic place to visit if you are a lover
of all things Mexican – they also give you
a free shot if you visit on your birthday!
CJ’s is another fantastic place to visit for
a healthy, yet filling, lunch. The premise
is very similar to Subway, but more varied
