Busy days and the Illuminations
- West Street is smaller than the others, so on busy days head straight for Talbot Road or Banks Street
- If you're also visiting the Tower or Coral Island, Central sits between all three
- On Illuminations nights, use a car park that's open all night if you'll be late back: Banks Street or Central
