  • Residence

Ely (pronounced to rhyme with “freely”) is a beautiful, peaceful city in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside – the ideal setting for this age group. It is 25 kilometres north of Cambridge and 120 kilometres from London. Its magnificent cathedral, established in 1803, dominates the city and makes one of the finest and most unspoilt medieval cities in England. Many of the ancient buildings are part of King’s teaching centres and student residences. The city centre has a traditional English feeling, with shops and a market square. With a population of only 20,000 people, Ely feels more like a village than a city – everything is close by and the atmosphere is friendly.
