One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever been in. It is worth queuing up to get in for evensong, as the music and architecture work together to enhance one another.

The vaulted ceiling in the chapel is an architectural masterpiece, which we especially came to Cambridge to see. So, usually, I would give such a place 5 stars, as just about everyone did. But I took a star away because there are no loos for the use of visitors. The leaflets with the map of the chapel say there are no public toilets, and the nearest ones are in the Arcade, which is not right next door. I should think that at 16 quid per person for early bird tickets, there should be loos made available. In general, I found the place less than welcoming. I understand people live there, but the young people standing watch at certain points to make sure we don’t enter there are very clear that it is “private”, and putting that together with no loos for visiting people gave me a snooty feeling (or privileged, if you prefer) that I haven’t felt elsewhere in all my lengthy stay in England this summer (or last). So, absolutely go visit, but make sure to use the loo some place (the station, if you arrive by train) before entering, if you might need one.
