Histon is a village and civil parish in South Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, England, situated just north of Cambridge and closely linked with neighbouring Impington. It has a pleasant mix of residential streets, a busy local high street of independent shops and pubs, and a conservation area that hints at its evolution from agricultural and light‑industrial roots into a modern commuter community.
Locally notable are the celebrated modernist Impington Village College building by Walter Gropius and Maxwell Fry, a proud non‑league football club that has enjoyed national attention, and good transport links following the old railway alignment now used by the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway - factors that help sustain a lively community identity while keeping the city within easy reach.
