Location
Hughes Hall is a quiet haven located between the railway station and the market square. We're a 10-minute bike ride from most university departments and only 5 minutes from punting on the river Cam and Midsummer Common’s famous cows. Just around the corner is lively Mill Road, with its cosmopolitan food shops, restaurants and bars.
