GREEN STREET GO GREEN A favourite for local indies, this historic street presents a diverse selection of small retailers. For such a small place, it is bursting with variety. Peruse a covetable selection of colourful clothing at Green Street newcomers, Lucy & Yak – purveyors of independent, organic and recycled apparel – and indulge the sneaker- heads in your life with a fresh pair of trainers from Flans Kicks. Pick up a tipple from the Cambridge Gin Laboratory and unearth an eccentric selection of head wear in Laird Hatters. Shopping can be a tiring business, so boost your energy levels with a coffee from Stir Bakery or an expertly crafted hot chocolate from Knoops while you’re here!
