Cambridge is a university city on the River Cam 55 miles (89 km) north of London. 158,434 reside here including 29,327 students. Cambridge became an important trading center during the Roman and Viking ages, and with archaeological evidence of settlement in the area as early as the Bronze Age.
The University of Cambridge was founded in 1209. The buildings of the university include King's College Chapel, Cavendish Laboratory, and the Cambridge University Library, one of the largest legal deposit libraries in the world. The city's skyline is dominated by several college buildings, along with the spire of the Our Lady and the English Martyrs Church, and the chimney of Addenbrooke's Hospital.

We rode the underground to LIverpool Station (just under an hour), and boarded a Greater Anglia train (about an hour) to reach Cambridge, then walked a mile to the University.
