Thorpe St. Andrew South East is a suburban ward in Broadland, on the eastern fringe of Norwich in Norfolk, England. The area blends an older village core with post‑war and more recent housing estates, and benefits from riverside green spaces along the River Yare, making boating, walks and outdoor leisure notable local features.
Historically the settlement developed as a parish serving Norwich but is now largely residential and commuter‑oriented, with local shops, schools and community groups serving a family‑centred population. The local economy is dominated by small businesses and services, and the ward retains a mix of suburban tranquillity with easy access to the amenities and employment of central Norwich.
