What to do near student housing in Norwich's North & West Earlham

When we consider everything that North and West Earlham have to offer, it’s a no-brainer that these are the most popular parts of Norwich.

It’s only a stone's throw away from the city centre (thanks to Norwich’s excellent transport links) as well, making it easier than ever for you to head into town for a night out socialising or for a day of shopping, or to get to class at Norwich University of the Arts.
