Cambridge is a university city and the county town of Cambridgeshire, England, on the River Cam approximately 89 km north of London.

Rail Transport

Cambridge station has direct rail links to London with termini at London King's Cross (via the Cambridge Line and the East Coast Main Line), Liverpool Street (on the West Anglia Main Line), and St Pancras (on the Thameslink line). Commuter trains to King's Cross run every half-hour during peak hours, with a journey time of 53 minutes. Trains also run to King's Lynn and Ely (via the Fen Line), Norwich (via the Breckland Line), Leicester, Birmingham, Peterborough, Stevenage, Ipswich, Stansted Airport, Brighton and Gatwick Airport railway stations. The Centre is a 30 minute walk from Cambridge station. You can also take a bus into the centre of the city from just outside the station.

By Bus

The number 17 bus from the City Centre towards Fulbourn passes down Coldham's Lane, very close to our location. However, it only runs every two hours. The Citi 3 bus runs every 10 minutes. Take the bus from the City Centre towards either Whitehill Estate or Fison Road. This passes the junction between Coldham's Lane and Newmarket Road. If you get off the bus at this junction (between Premier Inn and Travelodge), you can then walk to the Centre. Proceed down Coldham's Lane, past the Beehive Centre on your right and over the railway bridge. You can then follow the instructions above (from 'Once you have left the main road').

By Bicycle

There are bike racks at the Centre to the right of the front entrance.

Description

Wikipedia:
The Centre for Computing History (CCH) is a museum in Cambridge, England, established to create a permanent public exhibition telling the story of the Information Age.

On display are key items from the early era of computers (and even before) from ageing comptometers through the Altair 8800 to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Apple II series.
The museum also holds vintage games consoles, peripherals, software and an extensive collection of computer manuals, magazines and other literature. It is home to the Megaprocessor, an enormous version of a computer chip designed by James Newman.

In October 2018, the centre received lottery funding for a project on LEO computers, in partnership with the LEO Computers Society. The project, Swiss Rolls,Tea and the Electronic Office: A History of LEO, the First Business Computer, aims to bring together, preserve, archive and digitise a range of LEO Computers artefacts, documents and personal memories to share the largely unknown story of LEO with a new audience. The project includes plans to develop a virtual reality replica of the LEO.

CCH is a museum, not an arcade - everything switched on can be used, but guests must treat controllers, keyboards and joysticks carefully.  Running in the Centre is not permitted
