Where to stay in cambridge
Our summer course lectures take place in the relaxed setting of Clare Hall. We partner with next-door Robinson College to provide our students the opportunity to live, study, and share some meals with other course participants. Please see our Terms and Conditions page for more details and how to book this accommodation. Our block of rooms tends to fill up so you are advised to secure a spot at the same time as booking your course.
You are also welcome to stay elsewhere in Cambridge. Other hotels and B&B options are available.
Map of the University of Cambridge and the city centre.
Central Cambridge is small and, if you are mobile, you can walk to most places. Robinson has a detailed accessibility guide for those who need it. Clare Hall and Robinson are next door to one another, and are about 15 minutes’ walk from the centre of town. There is a good bus connection from Robinson to the train station where you can catch direct trains to London. The fastest trains take just 48 minutes.
