Cambridge Worktop Information

Cambridge is a university city in Cambridgeshire, on the River Cam, about 60 miles north of London. CB1 covers the central and southern city including the station area, Hills Road, and the Romsey and Cherry Hinton residential districts. CB2 covers the western areas including the Newnham and Barton Road residential streets adjacent to the University. CB3 covers the north-western areas including Girton and the Histon Road direction. CB4 covers the northern city including the Arbury, King's Hedges, and the Chesterton areas. Cambridge is internationally known for its university, founded in 1209, and its colleges. The Science and Technology Park and the wider Cambridge tech ecosystem, known globally as Silicon Fen, have made Cambridge one of the highest-value property markets outside London, with the concentration of highly-paid technology, biotech, and research sector professionals sustaining average house prices that rank among the top five cities in England. The Newnham and Barton Road areas of CB2, with their large Victorian and Edwardian houses and proximity to the University, are consistently among the most expensive residential streets in the East of England.
