About City Centre, Durham
Durham's city centre is one of the most beautiful and historic settings in the UK to live, work and study, defined by its peaceful cobblestone streets, charming boutique shops and popular restaurants. Set within a dramatic loop of the River Wear, the area blends centuries of history with a genuinely welcoming, everyday atmosphere.
Durham Riverview Residences enjoys an idyllic spot right in the heart of the city centre, beside the River Wear and just a short walk from Durham University and the city's major historic landmarks. From here, it's easy to explore the iconic Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral, both part of the Durham World Heritage Site, before wandering through the University's botanic gardens, home to plant collections from around the world.
For a more glamorous evening out, Cellar Door offers a memorable dining experience behind its concealed door on Saddler Street, serving seasonal, locally sourced cuisine with stunning river views. Afterwards, head to The Champagne Bar for cocktails in an enchanting setting overlooking the city - a perfect way to round off an evening in Durham's historic centre.
