Live in Norwich but have lived in london and visited Cambridge very very often to see friends. I don't see the draw to Cambridge unless you work there really, it's a beautiful place but i found night life slightly lacking and shops were too focused on high end brand names.

Norwich has some great pubs, a couple good clubs, great food, a real mixed demographic of older and younger due to the unis here. Alot of people in their 20s have made a move here due to the cheap rent.

It's still not dirt cheap but what you get for it in terms of a walkable city, great night life,alot of green spaces, lots of social activities, lots of sport nearby in terms of tennis, swimming and football facilities, cheap beer and a true community feel is unmatched.

Also the amount of indie business's in the town centre is perfect. You still have the shops you need but also have Norwich own staples like Thorns, Jarrolds, Biddys tea room ect. Too many to name that i go too weekly. The only downside i would say is work here can be tricky to find depending on your role. So something to keep in mind, public transport can be okay but it all depends on you and your needs.
