Here to see one of my friend who visit me around. A small college next to the King's college, but worth a visit. I like the main entry gate with a lot of greenery. It must be more beautiful in autumn.

Nice old buildings with a large modern extension with good facilities. Right in the centre of Cambridge too.

A small college next to the King's college, but worth a visit. It has a grand gate at the entrance, and a wall of lovely autumn leaves at the side if you visit during the right season. A stunning symmetrical main building and courtyard.

Dreadful stay as a guest (out of term time). Our rooms were next to a building site. Lumpy bed with scratchy bedding. One toilet for 10 (approx) bedrooms and one shower (room), also. Unpleasant smell in rooms and corridors.
We did however find the Porter staff very polite and efficient.
We stayed and St Johns last year and should have gone back there this year.

It was a good experience since it was my second son graduation.
