of leisure activities such as; an afternoon
punting on the River Cam, a night at one of
Cambridge’s many social and artistic venues,
or a sophisticated evening of fine dining at
the Michelin star restaurant, Midsummer
House. Travelling by foot, bicycle, bus or
car make many of the city’s main attractions
easily accessible and city living a pleasure.
Cambridge has a vibrant mix of retail
destinations and offers a range of designer
