ABC Cambridge
ABC Cambridge, Round Church House, The Cambridge Union Society, 9a Bridge Street, Cambridge, CB2 1UB
ABC Cambridge was founded in Cambridge, UK in 1986. ABC is small enough for us to get to know each student individually, but large enough to ensure a good mix of nationalities and students within all age groups – making it easy to make friends and practise English! We are located in the University’s prestigious Cambridge Union Society, in the heart of Cambridge’s historic University Quarter, and easily accessible by public transport, on foot or by bike. Afternoon activities, cultural visits, shopping and eating are on our doorstep.
