The Eagle

The Eagle in Bene't Street, Cambridge is a historic establishment that holds a special place in the hearts of many students and faculty at the University of Cambridge. Located in the heart of Cambridge, the Eagle’s rich history dates to 16th century and has been serving students, scholars, locals, and travellers for over two centuries.
