Removals to Cambridge: Living in Cambridge

There are few cities in England that compare to the beauty and majesty of Cambridge. It stands alongside the great cities of London, Oxford and Bath as a jewel in the country's crown, offering diverse architecture and wonderful history as well as superb shopping and a great nightlife. It is an industry hub too, particularly for the science industries and of course a world famous seat of learning.

The county town of Cambridgeshire, it is home to some 120,000 people but a magnet for millions more. Some three million tourists and thousands of students come to visit the city every year, drawn by its magnificent college buildings and the natural beauty of its parklands and surrounding countryside.

This beautiful city with its many cobbled streets has so much to offer; it embraces cafe culture and fine dining with a myriad of cafes, bars and restaurants and has many curious, interesting and quirky shops as well as all the usual high street names.

Removals to Cambridge: Places to Visit in Cambridge

You cannot come to Cambridge, much less move there, without visiting the world famous University of Cambridge, one of the world's most prestigious universities. Founded in 1209, it has more than 18,000 students. Some of its colleges, like Peterhouse for example, date back to the eleventh century and all schools of architecture are featured from Gothic to Modern.

Another "must see" particularly if you are interested in gardening is Cambridge's botanic garden. Here, 40 acres of landscaped gardens display over 8,000 different species of plant and feature some of the world's rarest and most exotic specimens. There is an excellent café in the grounds and the shops are open all year round.

Cambridge is a market city meaning that every day is market day. There have been market stalls trading in the city since the middle ages and in today's general market which operates from Monday to Saturday, 10am til 4pm, you'll find stalls selling everything from books to CDs and DVDs, clothes to jewellery and bags and fruit and veg through to fresh fish and health foods. You'll even find second hand bikes (a must for anyone living in Cambridge), garden plants and mobile phones and accessories.

The markets don't rest on Sundays either, there is a flourishing local food, arts and crafts market open from 10am til 4pm which sells organic produce from local farmers and artworks in all forms, from some of the region's most talented artists.

The Grand Arcade is Cambridge's shoppers paradise and a mecca for the image conscious. Situated in the heart of Cambridge and featuring over 60 premium and high street retailers under a sky-lit roof, the shops and boutiques are handpicked so visitors can enjoy the very best that retail has to offer. You'll find everything here from the latest in fashion and beauty to that something special for your new home and gift shops galore.

The Arcade also hosts catwalk fashion shows in the spring and autumn, showcasing new collections.

Removals to Cambridge: Out and About in Cambridge

As a result of its high student population, Cambridge has more than its share of pubs and clubs, some of which date back centuries like the Pickerel on Magdalene Street. If you're looking for something to pique your creative interest, you might like to check out Kettle's Yard, a small intimate gallery, showcasing modern art and ceramics or one of the many other arts venues like the Junction or the Corn Exchange, which offer an eclectic blend of live music, theatre and comedy.

If museums and galleries are more your thing, you should make a bee line for Downing Street, not the home of the Prime Minister, but home to the museums of Zoology and Anthropology. The Open Studios scheme is very popular in Cambridge - here local artists open up their workspaces to the public to exhibit their work.
