King's Lynn /ˌkɪŋz ˈlɪn/, known until 1537 as Bishop's Lynn,^[2] is a seaport and market town in Norfolk, England, 97 miles (156 km) north of Londonand 44 miles (71 km) west of Norwich.^[2] The population of the town is 42,800.^[1]

The town has two theatres, museums and other cultural and sporting venues. There are three secondary schools and one college. The service sector, information and communication technologies and creative industries, provide employment for the population of King's Lynn and the surrounding area.

King's Lynn is the northernmost settlement on the River Great Ouse, situated 97 miles (156 km) north of London and 44 miles (71 km) west of Norwich.^[2][26][27] The town lies about 5 miles (8 km) south of the Wash, a fourfold estuary subject to dangerous tides and shifting sandbanks, on the north-west margin of East Anglia. King's Lynn has an area of 11 square miles (28 km²).

The Great Ouse at Lynn is about 200 metres (220 yd) wide and is the outfall for much of the drainage system of the Fens. The much smaller Gaywood River also flows through the town, joining the Great Ouse at the southern end of South Quay close to the town centre.

A small part, known as West Lynn, is on the west bank, and linked to the town centre by one of the oldest ferries in the country.^{[citation needed]} Other districts of King's Lynn include the town centre, North Lynn, South Lynn, and Gaywood
