The « historic character » and « urban buzz » of Norwich has earned the city the title of best place to live in the UK.
The cathedral city saw off competition from 71 other locations as part of the Sunday Times Best Places to Live 2026.
Judges said they looked for thriving locations with a strong sense of community, rather than famous names and high house prices.
Holly Bamford, head of marketing at the Norwich Business Improvement District (BID) and Visit Norwich, said: « Norwich has long been a city that quietly does things differently… so it’s wonderful to see it recognised on a national stage. »
