Living in East Midlands

A region rich in history

For epic architecture, the local counties are home to some of the UK’s most treasured historical sites. Lincoln Cathedral is a prime example, and you also have the cathedral cities of Derby and Leicester for fascinating family days out. 

Over in neighbouring Warwickshire, you’ll also find Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of Sir William Shakespeare. A quintessential English day out for the whole family, you can enjoy year-round performances at The Royal Shakespeare Theatre and its sister venue, The Swan Theatre.

Countryside and coast 

The Midlands include Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire (North and North East Lincolnshire are part of Yorkshire and the Humber), Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland. Each county features stunning countryside, and you’ll also discover Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty such as the Lincolnshire Wolds and part of the epic Peak District that can be found in Derbyshire. Affectionately known as ‘Skeggie’, the traditional seaside town of Skegness offers coastal views along the North Sea, fun at the pier – and, of course, fish and chips.

City-life advantages

The major cities in the region are Derby, Leicester, Nottingham, Lincoln and Northampton. The first three are close together, so a new home in Loughborough for example is a base that provides excellent work opportunities and easy commuting. 

And with the M1 and A1 running through the region you also have easy transport access to London. Various train routes also provide fast connections, for example, a journey from Leicester to London St Pancras can take just over an hour.  When international travel calls, you have the very convenient East Midlands Airport that offers flights across the globe.
