Old Ticket Office

You step into the Old Ticket Office and immediately feel the weight of Cambridge's railway heritage. The original Victorian bones are still here—exposed brickwork, period details, that sense of arrival and departure frozen in time. It's the kind of space that makes you want to linger over a pint, whether you're actually catching a train or just ducking in from the station concourse. The crowd here is refreshingly mixed: commuters grabbing lunch, locals who've made it their regular, families on weekend visits. The food is proper pub fare done right, and they take their beer selection seriously with rotating local and regional ales on tap.
