What are the Pros of Moving Home to the East Midlands?
#1 Lifestyle Choices
Whatever floats your boat (or canoe in the case of the National Water Sports Centre at Nottingham), the East Midlands will cater to all your needs from Sherwood Forest, to the Lincolnshire Coastline, to shopping expeditions in any number of large retail parks.
You will never be far from everything you could want.
Stunning countryside, big cities, culture, history, modern estates, or chocolate box picture villages.
#2Everywhere is so accessible
Being at the centre of England it is well served by the rail and road network, and of course, East Midlands Airport is just a stone’s throw away.
#3More Home for your money
If you intend to move from the South up to the East Midlands then you will get a lot more home for your money, and still be within commuting distance of London.
#4Room to breathe
Not only is there an abundance of fresh air in lovely rural East Midlands, but it is also the second least densely populated region of England.
#5The Peak District, Bakewell Tarts, and Triumph Motorcycles
The case is closed for moving to the East Midlands!
Hang on though, because then there’s Stilton cheese, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, and the National Motorcycle Museum.
And then there’s the Derbyshire Dales, and Rutland Water, and Foxton Locks………..

What are the Cons of Moving to the East Midlands?
What reasons could you possibly find for not wanting to move to the East Midlands?
#1Ey Up Mi Duck
OK, so everyone gets called ‘mi duck’. And an alley is called a jittyway. And a cob is a roll. Someone grumpy is called mardy. Oh, and you mash a pot of tea not make a pot of tea.
You better start learning a whole new language for your home move.
#2Too many choices
There is just so much to see and do in the East Midlands that it is so unfair on the residents there to have so many choices.
The cable cars at Abraham Heights, Belvoir Castle, Calke Abbey, The National Space Centre, Donnington Race Circuit, Lincoln Cathedral, Crick Tramway, Rutland Water…….the list goes on and on.
If decision-making is not your thing, stay away from the East Midlands.
#3Neither North nor South
Choosing to move home to the East Midlands you will be neither a Southerner nor a Northerner.
And you are definitely not from the West Midlands.
You are not defined by any of those regional tags.
In fact, just like the region itself, you can be what you want to be to many different people, the East Midlands is not defined by Birmingham as the West Midlands is.
Each part of the East Midlands is unique and special in its own way, and definitely a reason to look to move home elsewhere.
#4 Natural disasters
In 2008 Lincolnshire had an earthquake that measured 5.2 in magnitude and in 1965 the largest meteorite to hit Britain crashed into Leicestershire.
Obviously, this was another of Mother Nature’s plots to keep the masses away from the incredible rural sights of the East Midlands.
Beware.
#5 Skeggy
Skegness is the go-to seaside resort for those from the East Midlands.
Ingomells and amusement arcades are the order of the day if you like that kind of thing.
But love it or hate it, you will have no choice but to visit there to be considered a local.
Just be sure to call it Skeggy and not Skegness.
