So pleased to find the public are allowed inside this amazing building - built around 1900 it seems like a much older palace. Three is a very informative leaflet about all the origins of the various marble in the building. I understand that that some additional rooms are open to the public in September

Allied to its proximity to the Cathedral area and the river, this is undoubtedly the nicest part of the city. Elm Hill itself has managed to retain an old- fashioned and almost quiet atmosphere that is entirely appropriate to its age. Although it now has shops etc., the style of the place has been retained and its lovely old buildings and cobbled street evoke images of times long past and it is certainly a place you should visit.

Sorry for the late review! I visited last year, and found the staff of the centre incredibly helpful. I'd heard that Julian was a mystic with a very forward-thinking religious attitude, and went to get a better understanding of who she was as a person. By talking to some of the workers, I found out so much about her and the surrounding areas, and got many recommendations on where to go for more beautiful religious history in East Anglia. Thank you so much for the awesome time, and interesting histories.

6. King Street

Reviewed By Odyssey645084 - Norwich, United Kingdom
King St in Norwich has had a chequered history but the negative reviews about it are now completely outdated. It is one of the most famous streets in Norwich, filled with wonderful medieval and georgian architecture and is situated in the historic Tombland area walking distance to both the cathedral and castle. The road is partly closed to traffic, houses the National Centre for writing at the 14c Dragon Hall, the Kings conference centre and a multitude of cafes, hairdressers and smart offices for law firms and architects. Across a pedestrian footbridge (over the river) is the Riverside area with a cinema, bowling alley, bars and restaurants, supermarkets and shops. The regeneration of King Street has been a long time coming so please don't be put off by the very dated reviews here - King Street is now fabulous.
