Look local: Cambridge

Founded in 1209, Cambridge University is older than the Aztec civilisation. Since then it has produced some of the world’s greatest minds. Now, the university’s prestige attracts eager students and visitors from across the globe and has established the town as both a centre of learning and a vibrant place to live.

‘The ancient buildings, green spaces and river Cam all combine to make Cambridge a truly beautiful city,’ says Kam Dhillon, optometrist director at Specsavers. ‘There are festivals and events on all year round and the international students and tourists give the city a cosmopolitan feel which makes it a vibrant place to work.’
