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.

Very 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

I 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.

It 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
