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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- Vandieman111Adelaide, Australia1,387 contributionsThis is a very good place to pick up an interesting and reasonably priced lunch. Selections range from paella to beef rendang and polish sausage.Written 7 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- stevebintleyBedford, UK8,758 contributionsWhile it might appear like any other wooden bridge it’s worth reading up about the history and science behind it - it’ll make its landmark status make much more sense! There’s not a huge number of different spots to admire it from but it’s a must see on a first visit to the city.Written 4 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sanka1 🇱🇰🇬🇧Bicester, UK5,878 contributionsThe Corpus Clock is one of the most striking public monuments in Cambridge. It is a unique and strange looking sculptural clock mounted at street level at Corpus Christi College. As it's at street level and on a busy junction, taking photos is not very easy with people walking across and there's always a gathering of people there who come to see it. Highly recommend visiting while on tour in Cambridge.Written 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sonyvaio78London, UK31 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.

Not that busy traffic wise which is good. Many delivery drivers on electric bikes and many cyclists going or coming from work or uni.
Most shops are there such as hairdressers, phone, convenience stores, newsagents, estate agents, charity shops, bookshops and many many more.
and a few bars too
as for eating, it's all here from restaurants to fast food and it's pretty much all covered too from Chinese to chips to........................you get the idea.
Not much in the way of chains either. Mostly independent businesses.
Certainly not classy or anything but the local community feel is there and I found it friendly enoughWritten 6 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's open to the public during University term term, Monday to Friday, and only at 10.30 - 12.30 on Saturday. You can either get there via Trinity College, paying the ÂŁ3 entrance fee to the college, or you can walk down Trinity Lane, and at the end, by the Trinity punts, is the entrance to a garden looking out onto the river and part of the backs, and the Wren Library entrance is in there.
If you are a fan of classical architecture, this place is a must. It's a great example of Sir Christopher Wren's well-proportioned architecture and his own interior touches such as reading desks. Most libraries of the time were dark places, whereas the windows in the Wren Library bathe it in light. There's also a stained glass window depicting Sir Isaac Newton being presented to George III by a Muse, which is really unique and quite delightful.
If it's more the books and the history of ideas that delight, the shelves of historical, leather bound volumes make a beautiful library. Then you have the cabinets, covered by velvet curtains, which you can push back to see some of the "treasures" of the library. There is the original manuscript of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, handwritten manuscripts by Milton and Tennyson, a Shakespeare First Folio (remarked upon in the label as "not very rare" given that there are around 235 in the world), notes by Wittgenstein and the notebooks of Newton. That's a bunch of treasures to see for free in one day! Well worth it!
If you like to take photos, sorry - they say "no photos".Written 11 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TUFCDunblane, Scotland164 contributionsWe had finished visiting Jesus collage and saw notice boards outside this church saying it was arts and craft .
From the outside its a small pretty urban church with a nondescript brown wooden door but inside ......wow
It's a riot of colour with decorated walls with red , green gold and beautiful stained glass designed by some of the greats from the arts and crafts movement. My favourite was the ceiling with either a design on the roundels where the wood met or phrases in gold along the beams
There was a very helpful chap we chatted to about the church
We found this by pure chance and it was only open as a meeting was going to be held there later that morning
If you are nearby and you find the boards out do visit . It's beautiful and quiet which makes a lovely change from the madding crowds outside
It's free to visit but donations can be leftWritten 5 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The buildings on either side are hugely imposing and display some fantastic architecture. Pembroke College (although found on the merging street of Pembroke Street), The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology and Museum of Zoology can be found along this road, and at one end is the large John Lewis department store with Revolution Bar opposite. This is all very central Cambridge with easy access to The Grand Arcade and St Andrew’s Street.Written 3 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GregCambridge, UK5,219 contributionsOne of central Cambridge’s busiest roads, St Andrew’s Street offers many eateries and bars as well as general shops and routes on to Parker’s Piece and Regent Street. The popular Wetherspoons bar, The Regal, can be found here along with Nando’s, The Arts Picturehouse cinema and newly refurbished and renovated University Arms. Often very busy during holidays at and weekends, cars will often turn ip from John Lewis along St Andrew’s Street along with buses and taxis. You’ll certainly tread this path if you’re walking in and out of Cambridge city.Written 30 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steven KHolt, UK27 contributionsAfter a great morning in the Fitzwilliam Museum, the community cafe here offered a wide choice of tasty good value food. Service was friendly and efficient, the welcome warm, and lunch was accompanied by a fantastic piano recital taking place in the nave. A good place to know in CambridgeWritten 31 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- rosa12cambridge uk113 contributionsIf you are interested in art this is an excellent way to see sculpture and some less obvious sights of Cambridge. There are three trails and many of the sculptures are in colleges. Even if you know Cambridge you will find some unexpected gems, and it is good to have your attention drawn to them. You can download an app to help you find the sculptures.Written 9 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RandallEvCambridge, UK94 contributionsJennifer Tee's stunning artwork is on the publicly accessible first floor of the Marque, enter by either of 2 gates and up steps or via lift in reception.
It is visible as you come over the railway bridge heading out of town towards Addenbrookes but for the full effect it is worth the walk up to the public area to see it.Written 27 February 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
