Covering: Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Saffron Walden, Haverhill, Cambourne and the rest of the CB postcode area.
The local landmark: King's College Chapel and the Backs along the River Cam are instantly recognisable.
Students: The University of Cambridge's thirty one colleges spread across the city centre, and Anglia Ruskin University has its campus on East Road.
On the ground: Central Cambridge means terraced streets with restricted parking and bikes everywhere, while the surrounding villages and new builds are much easier for a van. If carrying is the hard part, Assisted from £349 brings us inside, with a two-person crew when furniture or bikes are aboard (£15 per end for 2nd or 3rd floor with no lift, £30 for 4th and up).
Who makes this move: Academics, students and biotech workers move constantly between Cambridge and London, with term dates driving the busiest weeks.
While you wait for the van: An early set of football rules drawn up by Cambridge students was played on Parker's Piece and helped shape the Football Association's first laws of the game.
