Location, location, location...

Sidney Sussex is known across the Cambridge Colleges for having an enviable town-centre location. All of our undergraduates live in accommodation located within College grounds, or a short walk away, which helps to foster Sidney's close-knit community.

Sidney's Kitchen Project

Sidney will have a brand new kitchen opening this summer, and a new servery and dining hall will open soon after.

These brand new catering facilities will offer students an additional dining environment to chat with friends and enjoy tasty food. This project kicked off several years ago, and students joining us in 2021 onwards will get to make full use of these fantastic new facilities.

Check out the Kitchen Project's latest progress on our website.
