I guess it depends on the reference, but I was shocked how expensive Cambridge was. Having a decent 2-3 bedrooms house at walking distance of the 'center' can easily reach 1500 pounds a month. I myself have a flat which while near the center is in a shitty building, and it already costs > 1000 pounds a month. I would have something obviously smaller and not in Z1/Z2 in London for that price, but at least there would be something to do the WE that does not involve drinking. Unless you're really into outdoor activities, it is hard for me to see Cambridge as very appealing. I was actually expecting more hacker related meetup and co, especially given the academic background of the university, but there is not much going on.
