The Cambridge BID area predominantly follows the city centre boundary, then extends up Hills Road and Station Road to include the new Botanic Place development, the train station, Station Square and CB1 estate. It encompasses some 1200 hereditaments (properties), which equates to 1000 businesses.

The map below provides an overview of the area Cambridge Business Improvement District covers.


“ Cambridge City Council is fully behind Cambridge BID’s third
term ballot. This term Cambridge BID has continued to play a
vital role in supporting businesses, allowing them to bounce
back in the early stages of the post-pandemic recovery.
The BID’s third term will deliver a further £6M investment
in services, projects and activities to support the city’s
continued recovery. We welcome the proposed strategic focus
on attracting more longer stay visitors and encouraging
residents, workers and students to make the most of what
our magical city has to offer.”
— Alice Gilderdale, Councillor / Cambridge City Council
“ At John Lewis Cambridge we really value the positive role the BID plays
in shaping how Cambridge is presented to all those who live, work and
visit us. Supporting the needs of retail businesses, who make up quite
a large part of the BID, is vital for ensuring we continue to have a
thriving high street. John Lewis will continue to support Cambridge BID
into a third term and working collaboratively to unlock the potential
that exists.”
— Dominic Joyce, Head of Branch / John Lewis Cambridge
