Newnham College

Newnham College

Newnham's graceful series of buildings were designed in a Queen Anne style of mellow brick with white woodwork, between 1875 and 1910. They are grouped round spacious gardens with tree-studded lawns opening onto playing fields and tennis courts.


The College Hall seats over 200. Several different sizes of rooms are available for conference use or dining, whether serviced or on a self-service basis.


The College is highly convenient for the M11 and has parking facilities on site. It is only a short walking distance to the city centre and University departments.
