Kings' College on a rainy day
Hi I live in france and am flying in and out of stanstead on a sunday I only have a few hours and need books second hand if poss, does antone know if galloway and porters and the charity shops are open on a sunday, thank you. Karen
The website says that it is open Monday-Friday from 08.45-17.00 and on Saturday from 09.00-17.30. So assume it is closed on Sundays.
I've never seen a charity shop open on a Sunday.. unless Cambridge is different which I doubt.
The best charity shop for books is "Books for Amnesty" in Mill Road, but they are closed on Sundays.
I suspect on a Sunday you'll only find big bookshops such as Waterstones and Heffers open (from 11 to 5pm).
There are no left luggage facilities at Cambridge train station , but the bike store nearby provides this service. very convenient, when you have a train out of Cambridge and want to walk around the town a bit , without carrying all your bags.
It's £ 4 a bag, no screening. Step out of the station and turn right, cross the parking lot and you see the large building. The entrance is down the parking lot.
The River Cam for much of the year is busy with punts and punters.It's possible to hire one of the boats from various points located along the riverside in the city centre.The punts can take six people.A very pleasant time can be spent in the afternoon punting under the bridges taking in the views of the college and green areas along the Backs.
Just look out for noisy boatfulls of Italian and Spanish teenagers with their nervous looking English teachers trying to hide among them.
If you go to Cambridge and you have the time, then a visit to Ely for its Cathedral, is worth the journey.
Ely is in Fenland and if you do not know that much about it, I would recommend you to read Graham Swift's "Waterland" which story is set on the area.
The Cathedral is even more impressive when ou think it is surrounded by flat land. You can see it from miles away.
There are a few shops scattered around the central of the town offering tourist information and souvenirs of Cambridge. If you are going to London while visiting Cambridge too, then DON'T buy souvenirs such as T-shirts and jumpers in Cambridge's souvenir shops! You can find the same ones and even more choices in the numerous souvenir shops (the cheaper ones are those run by the Indians) in Oxford Circus, London. It might be a good idea to get postcards in the Cambridge souvenir shops though as those in London might not offer as many choices for specifically Cambridge postcards.
For the latest Hollywood blockbusters, and other mainstream movies, head over to the Grafton Centre, where you'll find the Vue multiplex cinema (formerly the Warner-Village). It's got 8 screens, so you'll have a good choice of films - although popular films often sell out on their first weekend - get your ticket in advance for these.
