Nottingham is England's Midlands cultural anchor — the Robin Hood legend lives in Sherwood Forest 30 minutes north, but the modern city is built around two strong universities, a serious creative-arts scene (Nottingham Contemporary art museum, Broadway Cinema), and a tech-startup cluster in the Lace Market quarter. Hockley (the bohemian-cafe-dense quarter) and West Bridgford (residential-leafy, across the Trent) are the typical nomad anchors. The UK has no Digital Nomad Visa — Standard Visitor Visas (6 months max) or Skilled Worker routes only. Roughly 1.5h by train to London; rents about half. The structural draws: university-town-density-at-city-scale and the cost-vs-London arbitrage.
