Cambridge and Chelmsford City life
Cambridge is renowned worldwide for its history, exquisite architecture and huge cultural appeal. One of the best things about Cambridge is its size. It’s compact, and easy to explore on foot or by bicycle. Or, of course, you can wander down to the River Cam and hire one of the city’s famous punts. It’s a glorious way to sightsee. And what will you see? You’ll discover a network of medieval streets and passageways, college courts, gardens, bridges and churches. Sometimes there seem to be theatres, galleries, craft markets, cafés and tiny second-hand bookshops around every corner.
Chelmsford is a city that has something for everyone. Fantastic shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars, plus year-round entertainment and events. Here's what to expect when you move to Chelmsford. Chelmsford has its very own personality and huge appeal for a compact city just 35 minutes from London. It's known as the birthplace of radio, thanks to its connection with Guglielmo Marconi who opened the world's first wireless factory here in 1899. As a student here, it won’t take you long to get used to the friendly, laid-back atmosphere the city exudes. Small enough to never overwhelm but big enough to explore and discover your own highlights, Chelmsford is a city that quickly feels like home.
