About

Romsey ward lies directly south of the city centre, bordered by Mill Road to the north and the railway line to the south. Its residential streets are primarily composed of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing, with some modern infill developments. The area functions as a settled residential neighbourhood with a strong local high street along Mill Road, known for its independent shops and eateries serving the community.

The ward contains several pockets of green space, including Romsey Recreation Ground and the larger Cherry Hinton Hall grounds just beyond its southern edge. A notable feature is the large Cambridge Retail Park situated in its southeast corner, a significant commercial hub. The area maintains a distinct identity separate from the historic university core, with a practical, community-focused character shaped by its proximity to the railway and major roads.
