About Nottingham

Nottingham is an affordable, youthful city with two major universities and a strong creative and digital economy. The Broadmarsh area is being regenerated, the Island Quarter is a major mixed-use development, and the city consistently ranks well for quality of life. Property remains excellent value compared to other cities of similar size.

Lifestyle & Things to Do

Nottingham has a thriving cultural scene built around the Lace Market, Hockley, and the Creative Quarter. The city has over 300 pubs and bars, a strong independent food scene, and is home to the oldest pub in England (Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem). Wollaton Hall (which doubled as Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises), Nottingham Castle, and Sherwood Forest are nearby attractions.

Transport & Commuting

Nottingham Station connects to London St Pancras in under 2 hours. The NET tram system covers the city with two lines. The M1 is easily accessible via the A52 and A453. East Midlands Airport is 15 miles south.
