A relaxed place to study in Durham

The Neighbourhood offers a quieter space to bring your laptop, catch up on reading, work on an assignment or spend a few hours getting through your to-do list. Complimentary Wi-Fi means you can get connected and settled in without any fuss.
There’s also space to meet up with course mates for group work or sit down with a friend for a coffee and a chat.
It’s a simple, comfortable place to take a break from campus without going too far.
Coffee, lunch and something sweet
The Neighbourhood serves coffee from Fika, a local coffee roaster, alongside a selection of food and treats.
Grab a coffee before heading to a lecture, pick up something to eat at lunchtime or settle in for an afternoon study session with a pastry and a fresh brew.
The menu includes open sandwiches, pastries and cakes, with plenty of options for a quick bite during a busy day at university.
The coffee house is open to everyone, so it also makes a nice meeting point for catching up with friends or spending some time in the city.
