Westminster College, Cambridge

Storia

Westminster College buildings were built in 1899 by the Presbyterian Church of England, to replace their existing one in London. The move to Cambridge was largely at the urging of two remarkable twin sisters, Margaret and Agnes Smith, whose portraits now hang in the main dining hall. The college is a Grade II listed building. Almost all the original work survives, with modern facilities sympathetically introduced.

The College is today a Theological College affiliated with Cambridge University with some 50 students; most in training for ministry in the Church.

Cibo & Bevande

Rooms are currently sold on a room only basis, but there may be times where breakfast can be added on for an additional charge, subject to availability. This is served in the College's main dining hall and dietary requirements can be catered for if advised in advance. If you would like more information, please make your request in the additional information section of the booking form.

A vending machine is located on the first floor of the residential wing and is stocked with cold drinks and snacks as well as some toiletries and other supplies.

The Chefs take great pride in sourcing the finest seasonal ingredients from local suppliers, in a bid to actively promote sustainability. The college has been awarded the highest rating of “Excellent 5 Stars” from Cambridge City Council for food hygiene and cleanliness standards. Many good restaurants, cafés and shops are within easy walking distance.
