About

Kings Hedges sits on the northern edge of Cambridge, centered on Kings Hedges Road and bordered by a mix of residential streets and green corridors. The neighbourhood developed mainly in the mid-20th century with a mix of council housing and later infill and private homes. Local facilities include a primary school, a community centre and a recreation ground with play spaces. The estate’s layout uses short residential streets and a network of pedestrian and cycle paths that cut through the housing, creating direct walking routes separate from the road network.

Transport links are strong by local standards: buses run along the main roads and dedicated cycle routes give quick access into the city. Small shops and services are clustered along the main streets, with larger retail and employment areas a short ride away. Community activity often centers on allotments and the recreation ground, while recent housing projects have changed some street fronts without altering the basic pattern of streets, paths and pocket greens that define Kings Hedges.
