Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- louisaMiddlesbrough, UK38 contributionsWhat a beautiful place.
It is very peaceful and quiet.
There are side rooms with information about the chapel and the church over the years.
The architecture and stone work inside and outside of the chapel are breathtaking.
I will definitely be visiting here again.
There is a service at 5:30pm
This was very clean and well looked after.
Although it cost £55 for a family ticket (a bit pricy) it was worth it. After going in the chapel you can walk down to the river and go over the college bridge.Written 29 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The ticket provided explained the sights from each side of the tower.
Slightly expensive but it goes to the upkeep.Written 8 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There were a number of interesting features to admire, such as the 214-foot Spire, the Stained Glass Windows, Murals and Wooden Statue of the Virgin Mary.

- sonyvaio78London, UK38 contributionsA must see when visiting Cambridge
We booked a free mosque tour for a Sunday morning. The tour guide ( I think his name was Bilal) was excellent . Very informative regarding the architectural link to the spiritual aim of the building .
The tour lasted about 60mins , and included about 30 people . It included the gardens, reception area., ablution facilities and the main prayer hall . Learnt a lot of new facts .
The building is impressive . The aims of the local community, the green credentials, and the Islamic ethos has all been encompassed in this marvellous building .
I would definitely recommend putting this marvel on your itenary when planning a visit to Cambridge .
Well done. Would definitely visit again .Written 30 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon NCambridge, UK11 contributionsWhen walking down Trumpington Street, take time to walk down Little St Mary's Lane and visit the church and gardens they are beautiful. The garden is small, rustic and a hidden gem on a sunny spring day.
The church has a large impressive stained glass window.Written 25 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is an award winning mosque due to its architectural design.
In fact in Britain it has spurred other muslim communities to look for an innovative approach when building new mosques.
This one is renowned for its wooden columns. It even has a garden and water features as you walk through the entrance.
I noticed after prayers, there was a room where you could sit down and have a cup of tea or coffee. We noticed that the locals could chat with each other. So it acts as a community hub.Written 21 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This lovely church was a nice place to wander around getting away from the crowds outside. Cambridge and its universities are great to visit but don't forget the churches in Cambridge too. One of many I enjoyed while in Cambridge.Written 7 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- futtock21London, UK17,269 contributionsGroove on down at HT as Holy Trinity Cambridge now styles itself. Resplendent with bright new boards and a knock on the door affording entry to a spiritual film show even at midday on a Saturday this is perhaps more than a nod to the ministry of Charles Simeon the n the late 18th and early 19th century who, horror of horrors, insisted upon evening services despite the objections of his churchwardens. A missionary building was later erected next door from whence students dallied forth to concert the opium ridden Chinese. Today Sunday coffee is on offer with a photograph which would not be out of place at Starbucks.Written 31 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Adrian S8 contributionsI had the immense privilege of being in St John's recently for the installation of a good friend as Dean of Chapel. The building is Victorian, despite the college itself being a medieval foundation. I believe G F Bodley was the architect and, unsurprisingly, it was Victoriana at its best. I was particularly struck by the stunning painted ceiling. Whether the late Sir John Betjeman, one of my heroes, ever visited or not I don't know, but I think he would have been impressed.
During term time a traditional Prayer Book Evensong is sung every day at 6.30, and at 10.30 on a Sunday morning there is a Sung Eucharist according to the Church of England's modern Common Worship Order One rite.
Choral service, held during term time, are open to the public, and I would encourage anyone who loves good music and reverent ceremonial to attend.Written 30 April 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A later stone building dating from the 13th century and was a centre for preaching by the likes of William Perkins during the Reformation. Renovated in 1637 and 1654, it was completely rebuilt in 1842-3 in a 15th century East Anglian design by the architect Ambrose Poynter. It has a number of wall tablets one commemorating Captain James Cook and his family. Although declared redundant in 1984 the congregation of the nearby Holy Sepulchre Church (the ‘round church’) was liking to expand into a new home and paid for the installation of a new gallery, baptistry and rooms, before moving into occupation in 1994.Written 27 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SitmosaRoyal Tunbridge Wells, UK61 contributionsDating back almost 1000 years, this tiny church is well worth visiting. Well restored in the 19th century, the font and the floor show signs of true age and you can imagine its use over the past 1000 years when gazing up at its beautiful roof. A small and beautiful thing.Written 26 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Aaron_A_AardvarkCambridge, UK144 contributionsA historic little church with an interesting history and really, reall old but somewhere to use as a location for something else.
We went to a live ghost story reading - which was excellent - and the chapel provided a nicely atmospheric backdrop.Written 5 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The present synagogue at 3, Thompson’s Lane is in a building designed in an art-Deco style by Hersch and Epril in 1937 on land bought from St. Clement’s Anglican Church in 1931 where the vicarage formerly stood. The building is shared with university students who hold Shabbat services during term-time. Outside term-time services are run by the Cambridge Traditional Jewish Community (CTJC) who also hold High Holy Day and Friday night services.Written 27 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
