On the northeastern side of the street is the University of Cambridge college Sidney Sussex College.[3] Opposite the college, Green Street, another shopping street, leads off to the west. To the southeast of the college is Sussex Street. On the corner is the tall and distinctive Montagu House,[4] part of Sidney Sussex College.

The street has a number of shops, especially on the southwestern side. The buildings owned by Sidney Sussex, Gonville and Caius, and St John's colleges, for example Trinity College owns the building that houses the J Sainsbury food store, the main central Cambridge supermarket.[6] Other shops include Boots and Marks & Spencer.
