There is a vibrant nightlife developing around the old waterfront with many high quality restaurants and several clubs. Central London is close enough on the east coast line to visit if you need more. London is however far enough away, especially by road, to make daily communting difficult from anywhere except Central London.

There is a good shopping, with both national chains and many smaller more individual outlets, both in Ipswich itself and in nearby towns such as Woodbridge.


Depending on your interests Ipswich is sure to have something for you:

• History from Vikings to Victorians via Romans.
   
• Sport, from football to sailing and all points in between.
   
• Theatre and the arts with 4 main venues in the town itself as well as several touring companies based locally, often attracting Big Names who live nearby.
   
• Many local art galleries, perhaps you are a budding Constable or Gainsborough, both of whom have Suffolk connections; or even Vic Reeves who owns a gallery in town.
   
• Wonderful natural resources, the fens and broads within easy travelling, Orford Ness if birds are your thing, Aldeburgh and Southwold if it?s the sea and celebrity spotting that do it for you.
