Selwyn College 2
by AcornMan
Selwyn College is one of the thirty-one colleges that make up Cambridge University. It is also the college where I lived and took classes during the Summer of 1991. Selwyn College is just a short walk west from the city center, though having a bicycle is a good idea for getting around. If you're in town for an extended time it is very much worth your while to rent a bicycle from one of the many bike shops in town. This proved to be absolutely invaluable to me during my stay.

Ely Cathedral
by eliowny
It's not too difficult to get to Ely on the train, and its nice to get away from the hordes of tourists in Cambridge in the summer. The cathedral is beautiful, really impressive, and there are a couple of nice pubs in the center to relax afterwards. Though I wouldn't say that Ely represents "real English life," its a heck of a lot closer than you'll see in most parts of Cambridge.
Italian Delicatessen
by pocketpiglet about Continental Stores
A place to buy ingredients for a picnic or stock on Italian products. This shop is run by an Italian family. Apart from the obvious such as pasta & rice, olive oils, cakes and cookies, they also have fruit juices and a very decent selection of olives, cheeses and ham... And they bake their own bread :)
Another great pub just next...
by steventilly
Another great pub just next door to The Mill is The Anchor.
This is a sprawling multi-level pub with floors and mezzanine floor and a limited amount of outside tables overlooking the river. Despite it's size it gets a bit teeming with people on a busy weekend evening and has a pretty good atmosphere. Anything.
