  • Name calling

    In fits of enthusiasm, (hopefully) strained through humour, Norman Road has been called
    "The Portobello"
    "The Bloomsbury"
    and now
    "The Hoxton"
    of the South Coast.

    More suggestions are, (cough, ahem, grin), most welcome...

    Norman Road is changing and refining eclectically, and we are going to welcome some Norman Neighbours: people who are nearby but don't fit in any category known to Norman. Artists, Book publishers and karmic creatives will all be here.
    The Bloomsbury of the south coast, thats what we are now. Allegedly.

  • Nearly Normans

    There are a few "Nearly Normans" here: places so cool, and so close that they just had to be included.

  • Creative Normans

    Creative Norms abound, altho', being creative, are a little backward in coming forward. We have logged a couple, painter and publisher, and know of more... Please watch this space: CREATIVES

  • Friends of Norman

    Friends of Norman, (FONs), are too numerous to be left alone any more. Artists, musicians, shop owners, ...anyone with a connection and a Norman friend can be found here, enriching the Norman Experience far, far beyond the bounds of 1066. And all that.
    Fun FONs here
