"Gun crime capital of Britain" - Nottingham
"Gun crime capital of Britain"

Nottingham has been nicknamed the gun crime capital of Britain, but compared to many cities around the world, the incidence of fatal shootings in Nottingham is very low. Also the few shootings that do occur tend to be confined to poorer residential areas, like St. Ann's and The Meadows, and not the commercial centre.

Nottingham does have the highest murder rate of any city in Britain, however, with 5.21 murders for every 100,000 population. The St. Ann's and Meadows areas are best avoided at night, as the most violent gangs are based in these areas. Just so you know where not to go: St. Ann's is to the north-east of Victoria bus station, while The Meadows is to the south of Nottingham train station.

Beware Trams! - Nottingham
Beware Trams!

Nottingham's modern trams are very quiet, so you may not hear them coming. There are no fences to protect pedestrians from the tramlines, so whenever you walk across them, be sure to look both ways first.
