For now, we’ll deliver a quick summary of the numbers you’ll need if you’re moving to a new home in York.

Essential Numbers for Your First Night in York

If you’re moving to York from anywhere in the UK, you may need to do a little research before you come and stay. York itself, within the city walls, is not a big city but when the suburbs and surrounding villages are added it amounts to a very large area.

York Hospital

In the centre of York on Wiggington Road is the hospital. If you have an emergency you can call 999 from anywhere and they will take you there directly. If you need to take someone to A and E, bear in mind you’ll need money for parking. Park at the far end of the multi storey car park, this way when you get out of the car you’re directly in front of the emergency entrance.

A and E is away from the main entrance, and quite a walk if you use the main entrance to enter the building. It’s much quicker to park close.

Doctors

It’s also a good idea to have the number of your local doctors to hand even if the surgery is closed. The answer machine message will give you an out of hour’s number to call.

Food

On a brighter note you may also want to investigate the local takeaways who deliver to your address, as we have some fabulous takeaways in York for every cuisine from Mexican to Chinese.

You’ll also find the local supermarkets deliver next day. You can even place an order before you move in to be delivered on the day of your move. Around York we have all the supermarkets you need for shopping online, Tesco, Waitrose, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s.

We’ll keep you updated with more tips and advice for settling into your new home in York.
