Gay Street

Why go

This street makes John Wood's planned sequence easier to understand on foot: leave the open square and climb toward the enclosed circle. The townhouses share a coherent Georgian character but vary in their windows and details. The Jane Austen Centre is at number 40, while Austen's former home was at number 25, a useful distinction when tracing her Bath addresses.

What to look for

• The street forms the direct link from Queen Square to the Circus.
• Small differences in windows sit within a consistent townhouse frontage.
• Number 40 houses the Jane Austen Centre; Austen lived at number 25.

Useful to know

• Use Gay Street as the connecting climb on a Queen Square and Circus walk.
• Look at Austen's addresses from the pavement; private houses are exterior stops.
