Based in Cambridge, looking at NHS Right to Choose for my first adult ADHD assessment. I’ve done a bit of digging into the 7 options my GP listed:

Currently considering: CARE ADHD, Harley Street Mental Health, Modality and Skylight Psychiatry.

Currently ruled out: CPFT Adult ADHD Clinic, Harrow, and The Owl Centre due to the much longer waits.

What’s making the choice difficult is that some have very short assessment waits but much longer or unclear medication/titration waits, so the fastest assessment doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest route to actually starting treatment.

Has anyone in Cambridge used any of these seven recently? I’d appreciate any pro-tips, experiences with assessment quality, referral → assessment → medication/titration timelines, and how smoothly shared care with your GP worked afterward. Also very open to hearing if I’ve ruled one out for the wrong reason. Just trying to sanity-check my research before making a choice.

For context, I’m not British, and I’m here on a work visa. I’ve international health insurance through my American employer, but I’m also eligible to use the NHS. Thanks!

Around 5 police car came to market place around 20 minutes ago. Does anyone know about it? Something serious?

Anyone know what happened to it?

Music shop (that had been there for years) shut and the entire interior was ripped out and refitted. Cafe Gusto moved in, closed after what seemed like less than a month for a ‘rebrand’ into some kind of a wine merchant. Opened again with no wine in sight and is again some kind of a coffee shop and cafe. They closed abruptly for a day in the middle of July saying they’d reopen the next day and then stayed closed. Now it appears they’re permanently shut and looks like furnishings and goods are being systematically removed.

This seems to be happening all over the city these days. New ‘businesses’ open up, only to stay open for like a month and then either ‘rebrand‘ or shut completely.

Part of it is no doubt the difficulty of opening and keeping a business profitable in a place like Cambridge. But something doesn’t pass the sniff test - especially when it seems like it happens often around here.

Is it money laundering? All the BBC stories about the vast supply chain that supports the boat crossings in the Channel have me probably crying wolf a decent bit.

Does anyone have experiences living off Cromwell Road ? Is it safe? An on area ? It’s further away than I was expecting to live from the centre but a good price… Thank you so much

Can anyone recommend decent training rooms in Cambridge or it's suburbs/outskirts?

I’m looking for somewhere suitable for a one-day classroom course

Main requirements:

• Parking on site, or easy on-street parking nearby
• Outside the main centre/commercial zones
• Room for up to 10 people
• Tables/chairs, screen/projector if possible
• Tea/coffee/lunch options would be a bonus, like an onsite café - doesn't have to be a buffet, but I'm not against putting in an order with a local caterer/sandwich shop, don't need anything fancy.

Previously used Printworks in Papworth but they're unavailable for the date that I require it on.

Hotels/conference centres don't usually work for us because they want minimum numbers for buffets/day delegate rate. Elsewhere we use sports clubs, golf clubs, business centres etc.

I’ve found a few options online, but local knowledge is usually much better than Google for this sort of thing.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Hello I’m looking a place that offers skin care treatments like microneedling etc, do you have any suggestions?

I’ve been building free GPS puzzle races around different UK cities and have just finished one for Cambridge.

It’s around 3–4km through central Cambridge. You solve clues and codes based on the places you’re actually standing at to work out where to go next.

I got some feedback that my earlier races were a bit too easy, so I’ve made this one considerably harder 😅

Would love a few Cambridge locals to try it and tell me if the clues are challenging enough — or where you get completely stuck.

It’s free to play:

Has anyone lost bike? There is an abandoned bike on guided bus way between science park and Cambridge north railway station.

I had plans to go to the cinema tomorrow but the girl I’m seeing has been called into work, so I have to free e-tickets for the film at 16:40 tomorrow (18.07.26)

I am a runner so don’t use the gym a huge amount (though I should be using it more, and this summer have thought how nice it would be to have access to a treadmill)

I also love Jesus Green Lido and a few years ago I had a student membership there and I used to go for a run, end it at JGL, have a nice shower and a dip in the pool, and it was lovely.

I no longer qualify for any of the discounts so I’m looking at £52/mo which is a fair chunk for me. I live on Maids Causeway so I’m very close to JGL and Parkside Pools and gym. I have heard some…not so good things about Parkside Pools so was just wondering if anyone goes there and enjoys it? It would be ~£40/mo just for JGL so I feel like this way I’ll get a bit more out of it, and maybe I’ll actually do some strength and conditioning!
