Location

The Glasshouse Student Accommodation enjoys an unrivalled central location a few minutes walk from Notingham Trent University.

You can’t get more central than The Glasshouse’s enviable location. Situated on Huntingdon Street, Nottingham’s exhaustive range of attractions lie right on your doorstep, whether you’re looking to hit the shops that rate the city behind just London and Birmingham in the shopping stakes, immerse yourself in Nottingham’s nightclubbing scene or soak up the historic ambience of the bustling Lace Market. Literally right opposite the development is the Victoria Centre, a vast indoor mall – open seven-days-a-week - heaving with high street retailers, as well as the ever-dependable John Lewis and a well-stocked House of Fraser. Also close by is the Victoria Leisure Centre, which offers a range of sports facilities including a swimming pool and squash courts, as well as a 12-person Turkish steam room!

Transport links get you from A to B in no time as the centre of Nottingham is served by an efficient tram route which stops at all the city’s major attractions. The Glasshouse also lies near to the bus station. Key destinations are easily reached on foot from The Glasshouse, including the thriving Lace Market, a collection of historic streets which has become one of the city’s most vibrant districts. You’ll find a range of cosmopolitan attractions, from European-style cafes to cutting-edge sushi bars. Chic boutique hotels rub shoulders with some of the most exciting independent retailers in the city, selling everything from urban wear to modern art and white label records. Come dusk the Lace Market becomes a magnet for Nottingham’s most discerning clubbers and bar-flies – take your pick from real ale pubs to late-night cocktail bars, trendy clubs to live music venues. But Nottingham’s nocturnal scene isn’t confined to the Lace Market – the city has more pubs, bars and restaurants per square mile than any other European city. And don’t miss the chance to sup a pint or two at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem, reputed to be the world’s oldest inn.

Another major central attraction is the Cornerhouse, an immense entertainment hub featuring a 14-screen Cineworld cinema, casino, nightclub and a host of restaurants including Wagamama, Nandos and TGI Fridays. If you prefer your cinematic viewing to be less commercial and more arthousey then the Broadway Cinema is a must. Located on Broad Street it’s one of the UK’s leading independent cinemas and one of the city’s main cultural meeting places, with a programme featuring indie and world cinema films. It even features an auditorium designed by our home grown designer, Paul Smith!

Historic attractions include the award-winning Galleries of Justice, Nottingham’s equivalent to the London Dungeon. The city’s packed with museums and galleries, too, including the Angel Row Gallery, the premier contemporary arts venue in the East Midlands. The Nottingham Playhouse is nationally revered for its boundary-pushing programme of theatre and dance while music lovers can get their fix of live music at intimate venues, such as The Rescue Rooms, The Social and Rock City or, at the other extreme, the 10,000-seater Nottingham Arena which attracts the biggest names in rock and pop.

If you fancy a break from the bustle of the city the efficient local transport network can deposit you in the surrounding countryside in a flash, where you can discover Sherwood Forest and the legend of Robin Hood or visit peaceful rural market towns such as Eastwood (DH Lawrence country), Mansfield and Worksop.
