Your Complete Area Guide
A popular suburb with a thriving independent high street, beautiful Edwardian architecture, and excellent city centre access.
Heritage
Mapperley developed from a small rural hamlet into a thriving suburb during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The arrival of the tram in the early 1900s connected Mapperley Top to Nottingham city centre, spurring rapid residential development.
The area became particularly desirable for its elevated position, offering impressive views and a healthier environment away from the industrial city. Many beautiful Edwardian villas were built during this period.
Today, Mapperley is known for its independent shops, cafés, and restaurants along Mapperley Top, as well as the beautiful Woodthorpe Grange Park.
