Moving to Nottingham (UK), any advices?
polycounter lvl 10
I guess the title says everything~
I'm moving to Nottingham from Paris to join Crytek UK as environment artist.
As I need to find an accommodation (they're helping me, but help doesn't mean that they should do all the work for me
), I was wondering if there was someone from polycount around there or even at Crytek UK who would have some advices about places to avoid (seems that this city doesn't have the best reputation) or places to go, or even any useful stuff to know around there ~

or, in short, the first person that says "innit", be sure to give them a swift kick in the balls.
I guess the areas you should avoid are St Anns, the Medows, Sneinton.
Crytek is pretty centrally located so a good place to look at if you fancy central living is The Lace Market / Hockley area.
Outside center, West Bridgeford and Willford Village are real nice areas.
let me know when your in town and we can meet up for some cultural exchange! (beer)
I am actually moving up there myself shortly, London just became too dear of late.
Rents in nottingham are pretty cheap. I used to rent a 3 bed house with a garden for about 550 pounds per month.
Driving up tomorrow for a look see.
The city centre is a nice place to hang out.It's good for shopping and eating out/drinking. We used to drink in the pit and pendulum and the social:)
There are rough areas , but most cities have rough areas anyway these days.
I am up for a few beers when I move there, if anyone fancies that:)
Massbot, did you get a job at crytek or perhaps monumnetal?
If you can get a place closest to the centre as possible then I reckon most places are ok. I second the lace market, prices seem reasonable but dunno if that's because I've moved from expensive London.
I live smack bang in the town centre (over looking the big fountain woo!)
Ahh cool Johnny, glad to hear there's some other polycounters here. We should get some beers going when you arrive :P
I should start on the 25th october, I just need the flat now u.u;;;;;

No words. Just =]
Chavs are an abomination here in Scotland!
I was recommended the "Hicking building" at first, but couldn't get a flat there. It's a bad time to find a nice place since university just started back. You could try: http://www.martinco.com/
Throw bricks at Odium!
Your avatar just freaked me out.
" Did that guy just wink at me? I must be going crazy" *looks away for a sec*
" IT HAPPENED AGAIN!"
*Stares intently at screen*
*wink*
" You sneaky little bastard you"
I know because I married one xD
Damn traitor. ;D
Definitely, would be cool to tag along. I always need more excuses to venture south of manchester ;D
Nice
Have fun there - I used to work with a lot of those guys when it was FRD and they're a really good bunch of people.
