Queen Edith's is a largely residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England, known for its mix of inter‑war semis, later twentieth‑century housing and pockets of modern infill. The area sits close to green corridors and small parks and is named after Edith of Wessex; locally recognisable streets like Hills Road and Wulfstan Way give quick routes into the city centre and out to surrounding villages.
Its proximity to Addenbrooke's Hospital and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus shapes the local economy and demographic, with many health and university professionals living here alongside long‑standing families. The ward has a strong community feel, with neighbourhood shops, schools and good cycle and bus links, while ongoing development pressures reflect its desirable location close to the city’s scientific and academic cluster.
