Arbury is a residential ward in the north of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, largely formed by 20th‑century expansion from former farmland into a mix of council and private housing. It sits close to routes such as Histon Road and is within easy reach of newer transport and employment hubs like Cambridge North station and the Cambridge Science Park, making it a convenient spot for commuters and local workers.
The area is known for its neighbourhood feel: small parades of shops and pubs, community centres and recreation grounds, and active residents’ groups that organise local events and campaigns. Socially it’s diverse, with a mixture of families, long‑standing residents and people working in the city’s research and tech sectors, and its history as a post‑war expansion area still shapes its street pattern and housing stock.
