The Norwich Lanes is a haven of independent eateries, coffee houses, and bars set in a myriad of small alleys and pedestrianised streets. It’s a favourite haunt of many locals and visitors looking for a place with an independent feel, good food and drink, a brilliant atmosphere, and some of the best people-watching in the east of England.
