A midlands city, Nottingham is just south of Sherwood Forest associated in legend from the Medieval period, with Robin Hood and his Merry Band of knaves.

Modern Nottingham shows an extremely diverse economic spectrum that includes Experian, Capital One, Siemens, Games Workshop, Speedo, and Paul Smith fashions.

Nottingham has twinned with the cities of Ghent, Belgium, Minsk, Belarus, Harare, Zimbabwe, and others. With the exception of Robin Hood perhaps, the city’s transcendent native son is William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army.
