The ‘often missed’ Cambridge street full of independent shops

The narrow street is also described as a ‘charming’ place to visit

Cambridge is full of many unique streets. Each street is seeping with history, with Cambridge being such a historic city due to its famous university.

One street in Cambridge, while narrow, is known to be “charming”. Green Street runs between St John’s Street and Trinity Street, as well as Sidney Street on the eastern end.

It’s close to Trinity College and Sidney Sussex College. The street is most famous for its independent shops. The CB Travel Guide said this street is “often missed”.

The CB Travel Guide added: “Green Street has always been one of our favourites, and through the efforts of Gonville & Caius, it has become a street full of indie shops. Small bespoke and quirky shops.”

It’s the place to buy bespoke jewellery, as well as enjoy a Cornish monkfish. The street was named after Dr Oliver Green from Caius College.

Some of the must visit places along Green Street include 40 Green Street, which boasts “one of the prettiest window displays in the city”, according to Love Cambridge.

Love Cambridge also recommends Bill’s, which is the “ultimate feel-good eatery”. One of the most famous shops along Green Street is Mercado Central.

This is inspired by Spain’s historic markets and restaurants, and offers seasonal cooked food inspired by the Spanish country. Green Street is also home to the Cambridge Gin Laboratory.

Here, people get the chance to take part in cocktail making sessions. It’s described as a “haven for enthusiasts to celebrate the art and science of gin”, according to Love Cambridge.

Anyone who loves to explore new places and discover new tastes, Green Street is worth a visit on a day out to Cambridge.
