City of Refuge is a storefront church occupying part of a shopping centre in Stoke, Coventry; Lords Sofas is another occupant. They are viewed here from the palm-fringed oasis of a roundabout in the busy Walsgrave Road, which makes an abrupt ninety degree turn here. For the spiritual or gospel song Run to the City of Refuge, see the Smithsonian Institute on Blind Willie Johnson https://folkways.si.edu/blind-willie-johnson/1927-1930/blues/music/album/smithsonian . The biblical cities of refuge occur in Numbers 35:6-34.
