Cambridge Markets

(Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, UK)

Cambridge is very much a market city, since traders have been selling their wares here for many centuries, from the Middle Ages onwards. Located on the western side of the city and next to the main University of Cambridge campus, Market Square is easy to find and stands alongside the City Council and the Arts Theatre, being close to the Corn Exchange. Here you will find everything from second-hand bicycles and books, to flowers, garden shrubs, fruit and veg, CDs and DVDs.

Sited only a short stroll to the north is the ever-popular All Saints Gardens Market on St. John's Street, which is to be found close to the Round Church Visitor Centre and the All Saints Passage. Nearby attractions include the ADC Theatre and various eateries, such as Pizza Express. If you are driving here and looking for somewhere to leave your car, then you may like to make use of the Park Street Car Park, just around the corner from Round Church Street.
