Chauffeur Hire in Cambridge

The colleges run along the Backs with the river behind them, the market square still holds a market, and the technology cluster around the Science Park and Addenbrooke's has made the city considerably wealthier than it looks from the pavement. Guests arrive for graduations, for interviews, for May Balls, and for the sort of unhurried visit that ends with punting and an early dinner somewhere by the water.

Bus gates and pedestrianised streets make the centre difficult to drive and impossible to guess at. We use the right approaches: the porters' lodges rather than the far end of the street, the permitted stopping points near the central colleges, and the hotels on Trumpington Street and out at Madingley. Addenbrooke's, the Biomedical Campus and the Science Park all sit outside the middle and are far simpler with a car.

Ely and its cathedral are twenty minutes north across the fens. Newmarket, the home of British racing, sits east on the A14, and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford lies south beside the M11. Saffron Walden and Audley End make an easy afternoon, and guests with a longer stay frequently ask for the run out to the north Norfolk coast and back in a single day.

Stansted is the closest airport at roughly thirty-five to fifty minutes down the M11, with Heathrow around an hour and a half to two hours depending on the M25. Luton is a similar distance to the west. From central London the M11 usually takes an hour and a half to two hours, and the train from King's Cross runs in under an hour with a car meeting it.
