Accommodation

Downing College has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay in historic Cambridge. Dating from the early 1800s, the College has a unique setting in Cambridge amidst 20 acres of lawns and trees.

Access to the College is via the Main entrance on Regent Street. For security reasons, the pedestrian gate is closed at 11.00pm (sometimes earlier, depending on external activity). After this time, access can be gained by ringing the bell via the Porters’ Lodge, which is staffed 24 hours a day.
