Cambridge has a wide selection of bars and restaurants and we make it our sole purpose in life to be kicked out of as many of them as possible, so you don't have to!
Some places have almost become official venues of the Diamonds, while many restaurants and eateries have been visited by the dining club. For the remainder, you will need to rely on the reports of our interepid agents, especially for places further afield.
Please contact us at

The following venues are regularly visited by the Cambridge Diamonds transgender support group.

The CornerHouse has unfortunately closed and is no longer the mainstream venue for the regular Diamonds Wednesday meeting.
Our new landlord, Dave Green, was very apologetic and more details will follow as they become available.
Changing facilities are often available if required, but please contact the very helpful staff in advance outside normal meetings.
There is car parking at the rear (River Lane).

The Bird in Hand public house is open to all expressions of gender and sexuality, and is the current home of the Diamonds group.
Since the refit in Feb 2008, the Bird looks set to only get better. The small size and high popularity of this location can make it difficult for the less confident T-Girl, but rest assured you are bound to bump in to someone.
Changing facilities are currently limited to a generous disabled stall in the ladies loo, but promises are that this will be improved.
9 Newmarket Road, Cambridge, CB5 8EG.
Generally a good experience. The Home-made steak-and-ale pie might actually have been made in house, but I doubt it!
71 Grafton Centre Cambridge, CB1 1PS
Quiet restaurant atmosphere with friendly waiter service. Surprisingly limited menu.

This Cafe is a space for encounters, meetings and discovery.
It is a social utility and a community resource.
It is not commercial. It is non-alcoholic.
It is open to everyone and will welcome all, regardless of religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, skin colour, hair colour, disability (although wheelchair users will need assistance getting up the front door step - afraid there's nothing we can do about that).
It is run by volunteers, and not for profit.
It is non-heierarchical, and run by users and volunteers. Everyone can come to our general meetings, make suggestions, and be involved in the decision making process.
Every Friday
Every Friday from Friday 20th June, the cafe will be run by Naarii, a Cambridge based charitable organisation.
From 10am - 11pm every Friday, the cafe will be transformed, delighting your senses with music, spices, and fabrics..
The Cafe Project is always LGBTS friendly but fridays will be emphasising this with all money raised being donated to the Lesbian Association of India, www.l-a-i.org, So, EVERYONE is welcome to join us for a relaxing or uplifting drink, to chat or to chill!

The box tree is no more, and is now a chineese restaurant. Perhaps we will try them again.
