Visited this splendid mosque on a warm September day. As you enter the mosque, immediately you are in the beautiful Islamic garden sorrounded by trees, plants and a water fountain/ oasis. Very peaceful and relaxing as it opens after 11.30am. A great way to start the day before prayer times. We entered the inside of the mosque at 1pm due to covid restrictions. Staff were very helpful. Had our temperature checked, signed in and all other precautions were taken before entering the prayer hall. Architecture in the main prayer hall was stunning beautiful. This mosque is Europe’s first eco mosque. Lovely place for prayer and contemplation.
2. All Saints' Church
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 19 reviews
All Saints’ stands opposite the gates of Jesus College in the heart of Cambridge, its pale stone spire a prominent city landmark. It was built in the 1860s to the plans of the famous 19th-century architect G.F. Bodley, and is a triumph of Victorian art and design. The interior is richly decorated - almost every surface painted, stencilled or gilded; flowers run riot over the walls. Light gleams through stained-glass windows designed by leading Arts and Crafts artists, including William Morris and Ford Madox Brown. The building is maintained by The Churches Conservation Trust and is open daily for visitors.

6. Wren Library

This beautiful working library houses on display, among other things, Newton's notes on his Principia Mathematica, handwritten A.A. Milne, an 8th century collection of Epistles of Paul, one of Thomas Becket's Bibles, and a Karl Marx autographed Capital. The library is only open noon to 2:00 in summer, and one must walk around toward Silver Street and through a nondescript doorway near the punt rentals to get to it. But it is well worth the diversion. Afterwards, walk along the backs of Trinity College on the way out for beautiful views of St. John's College.
