Golden Triangle (Norwich)

The Golden Triangle is a term used to describe a desirable residential area located to the southwest of Norwich city centre in Norfolk, England. The boundaries of the area are generally considered to be Earlham Road to the west, Newmarket Road to the south, and Unthank Road to the east. Its northern extent is less clearly defined but is often associated with the streets branching south from Dereham Road.

The area is characterised by its Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, tree-lined streets, and proximity to the city centre. It is known for attracting professionals, academics (due to its proximity to the University of East Anglia), and families. The Golden Triangle is often perceived as an affluent and desirable place to live, contributing to higher property values compared to other areas of Norwich.

Key features of the Golden Triangle include its independent shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs, creating a vibrant local community. Several parks and green spaces, such as Heigham Park and Eaton Park (which is located just outside of the generally agreed upon boundary but is associated with the area), are located nearby, adding to the area's appeal. The area benefits from good transport links, including bus routes to the city centre and the University of East Anglia. Its schools are often highly regarded, further enhancing its attractiveness to families.
