Town, South Lynn & West Lynn

Town, South Lynn and West Lynn form the historic urban core of King’s Lynn, situated along the banks of the River Great Ouse. The area encompasses the medieval street pattern of the original settlement, with narrow lanes leading to the waterfront. South Lynn lies directly south of the town centre, while West Lynn is a distinct community on the river’s western bank, connected by a passenger ferry.

The working riverfront remains central to the area's character, with commercial docks and industrial heritage. West Lynn is noted for its traditional riverside pub, a local landmark directly facing the ferry crossing. The districts are primarily residential, featuring a mix of housing from different periods close to the town's facilities and the river's edge.
