Marble Hall
While walking down St Stephen’s Street, you’d never know that Marble Hall existed. Away from the crowds off the busy main road, take a right into Surrey Street to find Surrey House – the largest public house in Norwich (and once considered the most likely to house a vampire). Inside – hidden amongst the bricks and mortar – you'll find a quirky mix of vintage furniture, antiques and art, all given a nostalgic makeover.Free entry. Hidden gem. The doors close at 6pm.
