About

Fenham sits about two miles west of Newcastle city centre, centred on Fenham Hall Drive and the junction with West Road. The area is mainly residential, with long runs of Victorian terraces alongside mid-20th-century council housing. Fenham Hall Drive passes the site that gave the neighbourhood its name, and smaller green spaces and pocket parks sit between the streets. Local terraces, occasional corner shops and rows of mature trees set the pattern of streets rather than large commercial blocks or new-build estates.

Daily life focuses on a handful of shop parades along West Road and Fenham Hall Drive, with grocers, cafés, takeaways and specialist shops serving nearby households. There are several primary schools, a community centre and NHS GP services within walking distance, and frequent bus links to the city centre. The mix of housing and practical services means the area is used by long-term residents alongside more recent arrivals; this is visible in shop frontages, food offerings and places of worship concentrated around the main shopping streets.
