Living in Nottingham
Welcome to Nottingham
Nottingham is a very popular place to live and study. Located right in the heart of England, it’s big enough to have everything you need, but small enough to feel friendly and welcoming.

Living in Nottingham
Arts and Culture
Nottingham has so much history. You can explore the network of caves hidden beneath the city, learn about the legend of Robin Hood at Nottingham Castle, or see real dungeons and historic prison cells at the National Justice Museum.
Food
The city has a large variety of cafés and restaurants — sample cuisine from around the world or try a traditional British Sunday roast.
Shopping
You’ll find your favourite brands at the Victoria Centre, or you can discover unique independent stores at the historic Lace Market area.
Exploring nature
You’ll have easy access to nature in Nottingham. The Arboretum is the oldest public park in Nottingham and it’s just a short walk from the city centre. It’s home to an important collection of over 800 trees, some of which date back to the 19th century!
Nightlife
Nottingham is home to one of England’s oldest pubs, Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, which was founded in 1189 AD. If you’re a music lover, you’ll also want to check out the legendary Rock City.
Sport
Nottingham is a great destination for sports fans. You can cheer on Nottingham Forest Football Club at the City ground, or watch national and international cricket matches at the famous Trent Bridge.
What’s nearby
Take a short trip to Wollaton Hall, a beautiful country house and museum that featured as Wayne Manor in the Batman film, the Dark Knight Rises.
