Norwich is a beautiful historic city in the East of England with a vibrant social scene. There are numerous pubs and restaurants to suit any taste.

It is also popular with international students thanks to the University of East Anglia in picturesque surroundings.

Norwich is a historic city, in the eastern county of Norfolk. There are two cathedrals here – which is rare for any city – although one is much more famous and more frequently visited than the other. The compact centre of the city contains the oldest covered market in the country, and a fine castle, two shopping malls and many other, local, shops. At one time, although many have now been closed or converted, there were 52 churches (one for every Sunday) and 365 pubs (for daily of the year!). A number of famous people have lived in or around Norwich, including the wonderfully intelligent and humorous Stephen Fry, and the famous chef and restaurateur Delia Smith. The fantastic, long, wide, sandy beaches of Norfolk are all very accessible, as are many historic properties – including the Sandringham Estate where the Queen and her family often reside. Whilst transport to the north of England is a little cumbersome, there is good and easy transport by road and rail to London, and Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton airports.

It is packed full of history and culture, incredible views and ancient architecture and, above all else, is a quiet corner in the East of England far from the hustle and bustle that makes other cities so intimidating. It’s the perfect city to relax and enjoy, and take in its past.

Norwich is a historic town – a former UNESCO World City of Literature that is brimming with culture and life. These include numerous venues showcasing the best of the arts and some of the finest talent that the East of England has to offer. Norwich is also the home of an established Premier League football club, and some of the best pubs in the nation!

Everyone moving to Norwich should know the sheer number of pubs and bars that line our streets. Some say that there is a pub for every day of the year here. I don’t think they’re wrong.
