Whilst world famous for the university, Cambridge is so much more. With green spaces galore, and the River Cam snaking through the city and colleges, Cambridge not only is a breath-taking city but offers some of the best career options outside of London.
Our Cambridge office opened in 2010 and has become one of the leading independent letting agencies within this thriving city.
Our professional, close-knit team are known for their expert local knowledge and organisational qualities and have helped hundreds and hundreds of happy people find their perfect city home.
The simple answer is - anything you want! The city centre is host to every high street name, plus a wealth of independent retailers. The market offers a range of everything from clothing to gifts to locally produced food. Live music, comedy, theatre and cinema will keep you entertained. The Lido, tennis courts and parks will keep you healthy. The Fitzwilliam Museum and Botanical Gardens are perfect for weekend visits. And of course, punting on the Cam is a must.
Fancy shopping in a modern undercover mall, with department stores, designer retailers and high street names? Or would you prefer independent retailers down a narrow street with pretty hanging baskets and stunning architecture? With Cambridge, you can have both. A perfect mix of old and new, with a retail offering that you would struggle to beat.
