Norwich is peaceful and safe. Full of greenery, historical buildings and castles, contrasted with new developments ...
... Friendly, great for making friends and easy to go to the countryside, or 2 hours to London Liverpool Street. There are 2 malls there too and lots of little cafes. Very creative city with one of the best art schools.

I have lived in Norwich almost all my life (Around 20 years) ...
... Apart from the small groups of youths in the centre and a couple of estates, the city itself is a very nice place.
Working is good, with loads of industrial estates, shops, office blocks, pubs, clubs - I could go on forever. There's something for everybody here.
It's quiet in most places and busy during the day, like any standard city, but it's also kept clean and is always moving forward.
I've also lived in Scunthorpe and North Wales, but Norwich is home and I don't think I'd ever like to leave for good!

Norwich is a wonderful place to live...
I moved there from London ten years ago and the quality of life in comparison is superb.

Norwich is a beautiful, safe and friendly city...
It is generally a lovely place to live. The only problem is there isn't much in the way of career opportunities and local employers know it. If you get a good employer there is probably nowhere else in the UK as pleasant to live.

Great place to live...
It is a thriving city, with a great night life, shops etc.
Despite being a city, it always feels very, very safe here.

Norwich is a lovely city...
I moved here from London 3 years ago and will never go back. You can't beat its mix of city and rural living (i've just come home after a day at the beach -25 minutes away). Norwich has that perfect balance between modern facilities for a 21st century city, and having an historical friendly feel.

I have been living in Norwich now for the past 3 years and have no regrets...
Norwich is a beautiful city and has plenty to offer everyone. You cannot be on benefits here for too long as there are plenty of jobs available. You only need to look. I live around the Magdalen Street area and this in itself offers a mini market and has plenty of shops to suit everyone. Norwich for me is the best city and I for one will never move from here.

100 minutes from London, train every half hour...
Brilliant shopping (excluding the most upmarket retailers). Safe, clean, most small city amenities - provincial not cosmopolitian.
