University of Cambridge, 4 Mill Ln, Cambridge CB2 1RZ
The University of Cambridge (informally Cambridge University or simply Cambridge,) is a collegiate public research university in Cambridge. Founded in 1209 and given royal charter status by King Henry III in 1231, Cambridge is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's fourth-oldest surviving university. The university grew out of an association of scholars who left the University of Oxford after a dispute with the townspeople. The two ancient universities share many common features and are often referred to jointly as Oxbridge.
