About UK & Cambridge

Despite its relative small size, the United Kingdom has always been a nation at the forefront of modern history. Visitors to the UK will find a contrast of a varied cultural landscape with an historical background visible in scenery bursting with heritage.

Cambridge reflects the appeal of the UK by way of a curious blend of ancient tradition surrounding a city full of modern charm. Resting on the River Cam, Cambridge is perhaps most famous for its world-renowned University. Cambridge University plays host to, not only some of the finest minds in the world, but also to fine examples of architecture. Many works of modern and contemporary architecture are associated with the colleges and University, each with their own unique appeal, whilst King’s College Chapel is thought by many to be the world’s most impressive display of Late Gothic architecture.

It’s no surprise that Cambridge is one of Britain’s most popular cities with over three million visitors per year. Perfect for a city break, there is a wide array of attractions to enjoy, from sport and leisure to arts and culture. Unwinding pastimes can include relaxing in the college gardens, gazing upon the breathtaking buildings, punting along the beautiful river ‘backs’ and roaming the lush water meadows that run out of the city. Cambridge also boasts a bustling market centre, a new generation of designer boutiques, historic pubs, coffee houses, restaurants and slick nightlife venues.

Cambridge is situated in the East of England in the county of Cambridgeshire, at only 50 miles from London, the rural city is generally easy to get to however you travel, and its transport links are many and varied. It is approximately a one hour drive from London.
