Norwich Lanes the vibrant heart of Norwich life!

Upper St Giles in The Norwich Lanes
The Norwich Lanes is quite unlike anywhere else in the city. It is proud to boast a memorable and eclectic blend of independent shopping, leisure and entertainment, where you’ll always receive a warm welcome and friendly personal service.
As unique as it is diverse, the Norwich Lanes represents individuality and creativity , so take your time, relax and explore the cobbled streets and narrow alleys lined with historic buildings and you’ll discover a charming yet funky mix of shops, cafés, bars, pubs, restaurants, hair & beauty salons, theatres and museums.

You’ll find the heart of Norwich Lanes just a few minutes’ walk from the city’s colourful market place. Relatively compact and very easy to explore on foot, much of the Lanes is pedestrianised, including the poetically named Labour in Vain Yard, Lower Goat Lane, Bridewell Alley and Lobster Lane that really capture the spirit of this very special part of the city.

With so much to offer, it’s not hard to see why the Lanes is a must-visit on any trip to Norwich. So for some of the best and most varied shopping, leisure and entertainment in the city, take a fresh look, visit the Norwich Lanes.
