About

Market ward encompasses the historic core of Cambridge, centred on the market square which has operated since the Middle Ages. The area is dense with buildings from various centuries, including the Gothic Revival Guildhall. Narrow streets and passageways, such as Petty Cury, radiate outwards, lined with shops and eateries. The ward's boundaries are formed by major streets like Sidney Street, St Andrew's Street, and Emmanuel Street.

The daily open-air market defines the ward's atmosphere, with stalls selling produce, street food, and crafts. It is directly adjacent to Great St Mary's Church, the University's official church, whose tower offers views over the rooftops. The area functions as the primary retail and commercial hub for the city, with a constant flow of pedestrians and cyclists moving through its confined spaces.
