A short central shopping street, mostly owned by Trinity College.
Green Street is a short shopping street in the middle of the city, known for its shops and eating places. It joins Trinity Street and St John's Street at its western end to Sidney Street at the east. Trinity College faces the western end, and Sidney Sussex College faces the eastern end.
It is one of the city's shopping streets, with plenty of independent shops and boutiques alongside some familiar high-street names. Most of the buildings belong to Trinity College.
The name probably comes from whoever owned the land at the time the first houses went up. Publishing has a place in its past: the Cambridge printer and publisher W. Metcalfe and Son had an office on the street for part of its time in business. In 1854 the publisher George Bell & Sons took over the premises of Deighton, with offices on both Green Street and Trinity Street.
Because it links Trinity Street with Sidney Street, the street works as a short cut across the north side of the centre; Market Hill lies to the south.
