The City
Cambridge's main shopping street is Bridge Street, which becomes Sidney Street, St Andrew's Street and finally Regent Street; the other main thoroughfare is the procession of St John's Street, Trinity Street, King's Parade and Trumpington Street. The university developed on the land west of this latter route along the banks of the Cam, and now forms a continuous half-mile parade of colleges from Magdalene to Peterhouse, with sundry others scattered about the periphery. The Fitzwilliam Museum , with easily the city's finest art collection, is just along Trumpington Street south of Peterhouse. The account below starts with King's College , whose chapel is the university's most celebrated attraction, and covers the rest of the town in a broadly clockwise direction.
