About

Lichfield Central sits around the Cathedral Close and Market Square, with a compact grid of streets that frame civic and commercial life. Shopfronts, cafes and the Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum line Market Street and the adjoining lanes, while the Lichfield Garrick Theatre and municipal buildings occupy short stretches of Church Street and Bird Street. The regular market and pedestrian routes concentrate activity close to the cathedral, and the three spires of Lichfield Cathedral rise above the roofs as a constant point of reference for orientation.

The Close itself contains ecclesiastical buildings, stone gateways and lawns that open directly onto the surrounding streets, creating short walking loops through the heart of the city. Small courtyards and medieval passageways give quick access to shops and services, and plaques around the centre record local history and notable figures. Visitors and residents move between civic spaces, cultural venues and museum sites within a short walk, keeping most everyday amenities within the central area.
