How safe is Norwich?
Norwich is very safe, we occasionally hear of house break ins or knife crime, but this is sporadic and in run down areas. My main concern is young men if on a night out who can be slightly predatorial in the wrong clubs but around clubs there is a strong police presence.
Posted: April 19, 2025Very safe city. Only a few certain areas to avoid late at night that don’t feel so safe. Only issues is nightlife and spiking is quite prominent. I know many friends that have experienced this. But at day time the city feels very safe
Posted: March 21, 2025I have live here going on 9 year now and it is very safe compared to a lot of places. I never have to worry about going out late. Or being harassed. I’m also very night person. I would go on the weekend and it’s always very safe. There is always police in visual site. And walking back home has always been really good.
Posted: January 17, 2025It feels like a very safe city, more than most others I’ve been too. As a student and a young woman, I feel I can walk around town (both during the day and night) and not be overly concerned for my safety.

Super safe, friendly and historic city with 2 shopping malls, a castle, cathedral and plenty to do and see. Public transport is fairly regular and gets you to and from the major places in the city. Never had a problem

Norwich is known for being a safe city. I think you need your whits about you when in any city in the UK, but crime rates are relatively low here and I tend to feel safe walking on my own (even in the dark).
Posted: May 29, 2024It is very safe however you always have to be aware of your surroundings and what part of Norwich you are in. Some are aot safer than others I would always say stay on the main routes. The city has a good night life but just be careful.

I have no set plans yet so am up for anything during this month.
