Once popular residential streets for wealthy Norwich merchants but today a fascinatingly eclectic mix of private dwellings, antique shops, galleries, restaurants, tea rooms and a convenient cafe. There are a variety of historical period buildings on Elm Hill, including The Britons Arms, which dates to 1347 and is now a popular restaurant. <br/><br/>Norwich has a vibrant business community and, as the regional centre, has an extensive range of cultural and leisure facilities, including museums, the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts, theatres, cinemas, Norwich City Football Club and numerous chains and independent restaurants and pubs.<br/><br/>In May each year, the city hosts the Norfolk and Norwich arts Festival, featuring music, theatre, dance, and other visual arts. <br/><br/>Norwich has an excellent range of state and private schools, and the University of East Anglia is located on the outskirts of the city.<br/><br/>The mainline railway station is either an easy walk or a short drive from Park Lane. There are regular direct trains to London (quoted by Greater Anglia at 1hr 50 mins to Liverpool Street Station) and a direct connection to Cambridge among other destinations. Norwich also has an expanding international Airport, which is just 4 miles north of the City.<br/><br/>Both the North Norfolk coast, renowned for its sandy beaches, bird reserves, seals and sailing facilities, and the Norfolk Broads are within easy driving distance.<br/>__________<br/><br/>DRIVING DISTANCES (approx.)<br/><br/>- Norwich Bus Station: 0.9 miles<br/>- Norwich Train Station: 2.5 miles<br/>- Norwich Airport: 4.2 miles<br/>- Norfolk Broads: 9 miles<br/>- Coast: 20 miles<br/>__________<br/><br/>WHAT3WORDS<br/><br/>We highly recommend the use of the what3words website/app. This allows the user to locate an exact point on the ground (within a 3-metre square) by simply using three words.<br/><br/>type.words.here<br/>__________<br/><br/>IMPORTANT NOTICE<br/><br/>1.
