Bootham Crescent is the second turning on your left.

You will pass the Barbican centre on your right, and the city walls will be on your left. Go straight ahead at the next four sets of traffic lights. At the fifth set of lights, enter the left hand lane and turn left into Gillygate. Turn right at the next set of lights, onto Bootham. Bootham Crescent is the third turning on your right (news agents on the corner). Number 34 is halfway down on the right hand side of the road.
