Earlham is a residential district located west of Norwich city centre, bordered by the University of East Anglia campus and the River Yare.

Adjacent to this is the historic Earlham Hall, a Grade II listed mansion that now forms part of the university's law school. The presence of the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, a notable modernist building on the UEA grounds, adds a distinct cultural dimension to the local environment.
