About

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

It functions primarily as a practical suburb for families, students, and university staff, with direct bus links facilitating the commute into the city.

The area is defined by the expansive Earlham Park, which includes wide playing fields and wooded walks. 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.
