About Cambridge

Cambridge, the county town of Cambridgeshire, is a historic city located on the River Cam, approximately 55 miles north of London. With a population of 145,700 as of the 2021 census, the city boasts a rich heritage dating back to the Bronze Age and played a vital role as a trading hub during Roman and Viking times. While it received its first town charters in the 12th century, Cambridge was officially granted city status in 1951, making it an important area for planning applications and development.
