Area Information

Locals feel that the "community spirit" and "village feel" of the neighbourhood is what makes it such a good part of the city to live. Just like its neighbour Petersfield, the area is thriving with a wide variety of mainly independent businesses, shops and restaurants.
Taking place the first Saturday of every December, the Mill Road Winter Fair brings the community together in the run-up to Christmas where song and dance, live bands, arts and crafts, entertainment and plenty of food and drink descends on Mill Road. It has become one of the most enjoyed and biggest events in Cambridge.
As the area has a high density of housing, namely beautiful period homes, open spaces are limited, but Romsey Recreation Ground on Vinery Road has a multi use games area and an outdoor basketball court, there is also a play area on Great Eastern Street.
