About Cambridge

Cambridge is one of the best small cities in the UK, situated in the East of England.  It is just 45 minutes from London King’s Cross train station, adjacent to St Pancras International, and just 30 minutes from Stansted Airport by train and several other international airports. The city is compact and easy to get around on foot with great connections to the wider region.

Founded in 1209, Cambridge’s world-famous University and its Colleges are at its core and, with over 800 years of history, you can tread in the steps of famed alumni – from Isaac Newton and Rosalind Franklin to Charles Darwin. Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Stephen Hawking; William Wordsworth, Sylvia Plath and Samuel Pepys. In more recent times, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Zadie Smith and Prince Charles.

The city leads the way in innovation, research, science and technology; there’s a tangible passion for the sharing of knowledge between academia and business, it’s where great minds meet and where delegates can escape the norm for an experience like no other. Being a compact city, the medieval streets of the historic centre are easily discovered on foot, or in the traditional way - by bicycle!

 There is also a vibrant arts and cultural scene, and an eclectic mix of museums, cinemas, art galleries, pubs and restaurants, all within a few minutes' walk from the Conference Venues.
