About Norwich

Norwich is a self-contained city with a diverse economy spanning finance (Aviva is headquartered here), creative industries, and the university. Property is affordable compared to other South East cities, partly because of its relative remoteness from the motorway network. This isolation also preserves its character and quality of life.

Lifestyle & Things to Do

Norwich is a medieval gem — England's first UNESCO City of Literature. Norwich Cathedral, the cobbled Elm Hill, and the market (the largest outdoor market in England, running since 1071) are the highlights. The Lanes have independent shops and restaurants. The Norwich City football club brings Premier League drama. The Norfolk Broads and coast are both close.

Transport & Commuting

Norwich Station connects to London Liverpool Street in about 1h 50m. The A11 and A47 provide road links, though Norwich lacks motorway access. Norwich Airport has limited flights. The city is very walkable.
