About Cambridge

Cambridge is a fusion of intellectual vitality, technological innovation and historical celebration.

Set on the banks of the River Cam, the city boasts a plethora of magnificent architecture - both ancient and modern, along with inspiring museums and art galleries, juxtaposed with the tranquillity of open parkland on the 'Backs' and at the Botanic Garden.

The Fitzwilliam Museum has been described as 'a museum collection of beauty, quality and rarity'. Kettle's Yard is just 10 minutes' walk from Churchill College. This unusual house contains a distinctive and changing collection of modern art, designed by its founder Jim Ede as a place 'where visitors would find a home and a welcome, a refuge of peace and order, of the visual arts and of music'.

In the heart of the city the ADC Theatre continues to inspire many Cambridge students to pursue their theatrical interests, having provided a launch pad for such noted actors as Emma Thompson, Rachel Weiss and Sir Ian McKellan.

Retail therapy is also available in the heart of the city around the ancient market square. Alongside many small independent retailers, the new Grand Arcade features a number of national chains including John Lewis, Topshop and Links of London.
