Location
Located close to the centre of Cambridge, Lucy Cavendish benefits from being in a quieter corner of the city, near University labs and departments on the West Cambridge site. It's a short walk or cycle to central departments and faculties, and to the University Library, the Law Faculty, the Sidgwick site, and University sports facilities, along the scenic Backs.
