About

Lenton and Dunkirk sit immediately west of Nottingham city centre and border the University of Nottingham's University Park campus. The area combines long rows of Victorian and early-20th-century terraced housing with purpose-built student flats, creating a high proportion of rental properties. Local shopping runs along Derby Road and Lenton Boulevard, with grocers, takeaways and pubs serving residents and students. The site of medieval Lenton Priory is remembered in street names and a small green space near Derby Road, reflecting the area's long history.
Dunkirk contains the Queen's Medical Centre (QMC), a large teaching hospital and a major local employer, with entrances onto Derby Road. Public transport includes Nottingham Express Transit tram stops that connect the area to the city and suburbs, and bus routes along Derby Road. Community resources include local churches, student societies and small community centres; parks and cycle routes link Lenton and Dunkirk to surrounding neighbourhoods. Housing mixes family homes, student housing and newer developments, so tenure and rhythms change through the year.
