    The Larkhall Inn

    Grab a pint at The Larkhall Inn. It is just a minute’s walk from the theatre and open until 23:00, so you can settle in without rushing.

  2. 16:14

    The Rondo Theatre

    Walk to The Rondo Theatre. The building itself is a converted church hall with a distinct character. Find a spot near the entrance or in the small square outside to wait for the light to change.

  3. 16:29

    Royal Victoria Park

    Head to Royal Victoria Park. It is a 37-minute walk from the anchor, so you should leave the theatre area about 30 minutes before sunset to arrive just in time. The park offers a wide, open view toward the southwest where the sun sets. Watch the golden light fade into twilight over the grass and the distant crescents.

Local tip

Royal Victoria Park is large. If you want a clearer view of the sunset without crowds, wander toward the north-western corner as suggested in local descriptions.
