King’s College

I was just amazed!
Seriously, how can that be called a chapel? Is there no limit to the size of a chapel?
It was amazing! You have all these statues with hounds, lions, dragons, and the stained glasses and in the middle of that scene a majestic organ! And when the organ started playing…
The college in itself is beautiful but what makes that place special is its chapel!
However be warned, I was able not to pay thanks to a friend which studies there but the price is insane, 8£ to visit for adults… I just don’t understand why some colleges in the UK have an entrance fee to visit them…

Wonderful looking college. Place is immaculate from the grounds to the buildings. Definitely worth a visit if one has a chance to visit.

It’s King’s College, it’s a delight, unique and special. But it’s wrapped up in rules and regulations and it’s hard to give a full recommendation to somewhere that makes it hard to visit! So three stars for the amazing architecture, survival instincts of an institution that’s been around for HUNDREDS of years and the way it leads down to the punters on the Cam is rather lovely. But it’s a working space and so it’s nice despite the visitors and the tourists, not because of them. Grass that you can’t walk on? Guards at the gate? Locked gates most ways you turn? I don’t think they’re going for Unilocal reviews in the strategic plan, so they won’t mind missing out on the big five star.

I wish I could study here!

Please. In the centuries since this institution had its last big advancement, the rest of the world has caught up. I give it one star partly for being overrated, but chiefly as regards tourism.
As a tourist destination, the place may look scenic but you’d never know it without paying a steep cover charge! Seriously. There are beefeaters guarding the gates to make sure nobody gets a free campus tour. I had to borrow a friend’s ID card just to get inside the walls without paying the fee! If you can walk around the Harvard or Yale campus without paying anybody, there’s no excuse for Cambridge to be any different.
The best view of King’s College is from the River Cam. Annoy those prats by mooring on the banks of the green and cavorting on the lawn. No joke! Both of those things are frowned upon.

I love love love this college! For three months, I woke up to this beautiful school. Needless to say, the architecture here took my breath away. King’s College Chapel is built in a Gothic fashion and has one of the most elaborate interiors I’ve ever seen. One of the perks for being a student there is our private rooftop tour. It was a little scary climbing up the narrow spiral staircase, but once you got to the top, it was simply amazing.
Funny quirk:
— You cannot step on the grass! It is actually quite a serious offense if you do — only the Fellows (the professors or deans) are allowed to walk on the grass
This is definitely a must-​see if you are ever in Cambridge! I may be biased, but this is the most beautiful college in Cambridge :)

Hosted a reception and dinner at King’s College… it was a beautiful setting. Guests were in awe. The reception was held during sunset in the great lawn and it was truly an amazing location. To the back of the lawn was the river canal and it could not be more perfect. The main dining room with its arched windows, weaved carpets and beautiful woodcraft was breathtaking! Who could ask for more!!! Truly a once in a lifetime experience.

I don’t think it’s possible to go to Cambridge and not see King’s College. Scratch that – it’s actually NOT possible. The largest and most well-​known college of the University of Cambridge is a sight to see, drawing students and tourists from around the world. It’s been around since 1441! Umm. that’s old. Marvel at the architecture, take a day stroll through it, and check out the chapel.

they danced all night to Drum n Bass with Andy C DJing in 15^th century dungeon rooms only to end-​up watching the dawn sun pour through the stained glass of the ancient dining hall while lying on beanbags listening to a Mr Scruff chillout set.

well I just did.
