About Arbury
Where to stay in Arbury
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Kettle's Yard settles most itineraries. Arbury is a suburb and electoral ward rather than a hotel quarter, so the working choice is between a room out among its streets and a base closer to Cambridge Castle, Kettle's Yard and the Museum of Cambridge. The centre keeps the sights.
Anyone here for the Church of St Giles, St Peter's Church or Jesus Green Lock House books nearer the middle of Cambridge and treats Arbury as the address rather than the destination.
About Arbury
What are the main landmarks in Arbury?
The list runs long for a ward. Kettle's Yard and the Museum of Cambridge sit among the named sites within reach of Arbury, alongside Cambridge Castle, the Church of St Giles, the Church of St Luke and St Peter's Church. Houses take the rest.
Cory House, Wentworth House, Jesus Green Lock House and the address at 18 St Peter's Street round out a roll that leans towards domestic buildings as much as public ones.
What is the history of Arbury?
Arbury carries a ward name as well as a place name. The suburb and the electoral ward share the same word in Cambridge, which is what the record fixes about it, and the older layers belong to buildings rather than to any date the district holds. Cambridge Castle stands among them.
The Church of St Giles, the Church of St Luke and St Peter's Church each carry a dedication, and Cory House and Wentworth House keep two more names on the same ground.
Where is Arbury?
The ward and the suburb share one name. Arbury forms part of Cambridge in England, and Jesus Green Lock House and the Church of St Luke lie inside the same city.
