Parking
In addition to the road meter parking on the Augusta Street, there is a
multi-storey car park in the centre of the Jewellery Quarter, which is cheaper
and easier. It has two entrances – one on Northampton Street (closer to the
Consulate) and another on Vyse Street.
Information Centre & other attractions
There is a local Tourist
Information Centre on Vyse Street adjacent to the Clock Tower which provides
advice/information about the local attractions and facilities, such as Post
Office, Police Station, parking etc. There are over a hundred jewellery shops in
the Quarter and two museums – Museum of the Jewellery Quarter and the Pen Room
Museum – that are free to visit.
St. Paul’s Square, a short walk from the Consulate, offers a variety of
restaurants and bars.

Note: |
(1) |
Applicants
are advised not to unnecessarily keep contacting/reminding the Consulate
about the status of their applications since these are dealt with on “first
come first served” basis and after appropriate verifications where
necessary, unless there are genuine and exceptional circumstances to warrant
“out of turn” consideration. |
| |
(2) |
We would also appreciate if telephonic queries about status of
consular/passport/visa applications are made only between 2.30 PM and
5.00 PM. Queries outside these hours will not be entertained. |
