The
Mill Road area was recently described as “The
new Islington,” with its vast array
of restaurants, pubs, and “local”
shops. It is a street in which one can buy
anything “from a bath plug to a car!”.
The
array of restaurants is also astounding. In
Mill Road one can find some of Cambridge’s
best Indian food, a French Bistro, a North
African restaurant, as well as Turkish, Italian,
and Chinese restaurants and noodle bars. There
are also plenty of local pubs – including
the well-known Cambridge “no-smoking
and no mobile telephone” pub.
One
can find almost anything in Mill Road from
antiques, bikes, clothes, books, electrical
supplies, second hand shops, internet cafes,
hardware stores, and wine shops, to an herb
shop, a wonderful delicatessen, an excellent
health shop, and many exotic grocery shops
of all kinds.
