Location

Spring Gardens begins at the junction of Charlotte Street and Mosley Street, crossing Fountain Street and Concert Lane, before continuing north to the eastern end of King Street. A one-way system prevents vehicles from travelling further north on Spring Gardens as it joins York Street (there is a loop via Fountain Street and Marble Street to rejoin), however pedestrians can continue north-northeast on Spring Gardens and a pedestrianised section to join Market Street.
