Old Lenton occupies a neighbourhood in south Nottingham, lying between the River Trent to the west and the urban core to the east. The area is bounded by Lenton Boulevard to the north and connects through local streets to surrounding residential districts. Its position relative to the city centre makes it accessible for those exploring Nottingham’s neighbourhoods on foot or by bus.
The neighbourhood takes its character from Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing that lines its streets, typical of Nottingham’s expansion in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Despite its historical residential foundation, Old Lenton remains a living community with local shops, schools and green spaces that serve residents and visitors passing through the area. The proximity to both the river and city amenities has preserved its appeal as a place to walk and discover older residential Nottingham.
