About

Lakenham ward lies directly south of Norwich's city centre, positioned between the River Yare to its east and the outer ring road to its west. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing alongside more modern developments. Its main thoroughfare is Hall Road, which serves as a local commercial hub with independent shops and services catering to the community. The ward also contains significant areas of open space and playing fields.

A notable local landmark is the distinctive Lakenham Cock pub, a historic building that has long been a community fixture. The area is home to the large Hewett Academy school campus and is bordered by the recreational grounds of the Norfolk County Cricket Club. Lakenham's proximity to the river and its network of quieter side streets provide a contrast to the busier central city, offering a settled, neighbourhood atmosphere.
