Well there's always gonna be the bunker, since they've worked out it's too expensive to demolish it anyway...they actually considered moving the security office there (hilariously) but I think they determined actually retrofitting the building for human habitation would be too expensive
But they are preserving some - the DAB unfortunately being one of them. The whale improves things, somewhat :x I actually think the typewriter is one of the better examples of the style, and would be worth preserving as it isn't quite so awful as many other examples
can't imagine living in the typewriter though. Give me Magdalene any day!!!
It's right on the coast! Some of the buildings back on to parts of the beach. It's very easy to walk to the beach from most of the campus where it is such a small town too.
It has all the charm of Cambridge, just none of the hectic aspects (practically no traffic in comparison to the hell that is Cambridge). Some may find it a little too quiet though. But although it was always the most painful to get to in terms of location, then I use to love going there because I actually got to see it.
I worked as a recruiter where I exclusively looked after Cambridge for nearly a year and probably visited over 60+ times in that year alone so I have seen a lot of it. Although there are obviously some stunning buildings that will attract the most attention, it can be equally as ugly as it is pretty!
Walking is the best way to get around Cambridge if you live in a central enough college.
Those roads were not made for motorised vehicles...
Being all suited and booted for work + travelling from London = inability to cycle and a lifetime spent calling Panther for taxis to and from the station instead.
Even if cycling was an option, I'd fear for my life.
The only problem with any of these beautiful places is that I live in high heel shoes and hate cobbles.

I wonder how many people have been to multiple sites.
Cambridge has a lot of beautiful buildings scattered throughout the city, but campus?
Never been to Oxford.
Nottingham is spectacular. Edinburgh. Royal Holloway.
I really, really love the bit by the river at Nottingham, but that isn't the whole campus. Royal Holloway has gorgeous buildings but it gets a bit samey.
