Location

Norwich, with a population of 125,000, had its origins in Saxon times. Its rich tradition of architecture and commerce began as early as 1096 with the construction of the cathedral, still a monument to the city’s prosperity and devotion. Norwich continued to flourish, reaching by the 16th century a position of prominence as the second largest city in England, which it remained until the Industrial Revolution.

Norwich’s architectural heritage is preserved and utilized today. The 15th century monastery serves as a concert hall, and a 13th century crypt is used as a coffee bar.

Modern Norwich has many cultural attractions including five museums, the Theatre Royal, the Forum Information Center, a thriving music scene, as well as many pubs and a number of diverse restaurants. The city and university complement each other, providing residents and visitors alike with award-winning 20th century architecture and the rich history and cultural traditions of England.

Norwich is 30 miles from the Norfolk shoreline and less than three hours by train from London, giving it an ideal location in the heart of eastern England.
