Location:

A very wise lady, who used to live in Eugenie House, once explained to me how convenient its setting is. She said that whenever she wanted to pop into Clifton Village for some shopping, or a cup of coffee, or to meet up with friends, she would exit the building via the front door, stroll along the Royal York Crescent terrace (which ends at road level with no steps), then would return via Princess Victoria Street. She pointed out that this meant she felt her entire return journey was downhill!
