Popular Student Areas
Nottingham is a social, student friendly city with fun things to do popping up all within easy access of your student home. Fancy the latest blockbuster at the Savoy Cinema? Or maybe you just need to find a quiet space to clear your head before exam time. Whatever it may be, here are a couple of go-to places we recommend visiting during your time as a student:
Lenton
Located ideally between the city and the main University campus, Lenton is seen as the ‘student mecca’ and plays home to many of our accredited student properties. With plenty of shops and amenities nearby, it’s a close walk to campus or students can jump on one of the numerous buses heading to the city centre.
Intu Victoria Centre
At the heart of Nottingham city centre, there’s a lot to explore here. From top brands making a great student shopping experience, to the popular Clock House dining quarter, a recent refurbishment has transformed this centre, attracting vast numbers of visitors.
5 Famous Landmarks You Must See
Nottingham is packed full of impressive places to go and see. From ancient architecture, to winding tunnels you won’t have to travel too far from your studious doorstep to take in the sights. These are some of the best places to go and take a look at during your studies in Nottingham.
Wollaton Hall – Perfect for a day out, Wollaton Hall is an Elizabethan country house built in the 1580’s. Now a prominent Grade One Listed building, it’s hard not take in the spectacular five hundred yard scenery as you stand on the natural hill just three miles west of Nottingham city centre.
National Justice Museum – Also known as the Shire Hall, this is an independent museum and a registered charity on High Pavement, in Nottingham. Take part in a mock trial in the courtroom for an authentic slice of Nottingham history.

Nottingham Contemporary – It’s easy to be blown away by the scalloped lace exterior of this fantastic, modern building, sunk into a sandstone cliff, but just wait until you see what’s inside. As one of the largest contemporary art spaces in the UK, it possesses 4 art galleries, an auditorium, and an education space. It also contains a study centre, if you’re looking to do such studious activities outside of your student home.
