About

East Chesterton ward lies north of the River Cam, encompassing a primarily residential area with a mix of housing types, from Victorian terraces to modern developments. Its streets are arranged in a grid-like pattern, leading toward the river and the open expanse of Midsummer Common. The area functions as a settled neighbourhood, with local shops and schools serving the community.

The ward's western boundary is defined by the River Cam, where houseboats are permanently moored along Chesterton Lane, creating a distinct waterside character. Fen Road runs through its eastern section, leading toward the Cambridge North railway station and areas of light industrial use. This practical mix of housing, riverfront, and transport infrastructure defines the area's identity.
