The Neighborhood:
The house is located just a stone's throw away from the green Parkers Piece and Christ’s Pieces, right in the heart of the city center. Here you can find extensive shopping and cultural facilities, colleges, and tree-lined River Cam is just a short walk away. For some retail therapy, you can browse the many high-street brands and independent boutiques that offer statement pieces. The Grand Arcade Shopping Centre is guaranteed to satisfy all your shopping needs with over 50 stores ranging from fashion and beauty to technology and homeware.
Although Cambridge is a hub for education and shopping, the area is also home to idyllic green spaces; popular spots are Jesus Green, Parker's Piece, and the Botanic Garden, making them the ideal escape from city life.
Cambridge is home to a plethora of museums and art galleries, so whether you enjoy history, science, archaeology, or zoology. For theatre lovers, Cambridge Arts Theatre and the Cambridge Corn Exchange are also close by which offer a full program of plays, musicals, comedy, and well-known live music acts. The national pastime of Cambridge and one of the best ways to see the city is to punt down the river. The brave do the stick-bit themselves but why not treat yourself and a book to a gondolier-like guide to navigate the river Cam for you? And of course, we cannot forget to mention the 31 colleges that form the University of Cambridge. The University buildings are stunning examples of medieval, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical architecture. Welcome to Cambridge!
