St John’s College, Cambridge, celebrated its 500th anniversary in 2011. Founded on the site of the 13th-century Hospital of St John, the College has expanded over five centuries to become the largest college of both Oxford and Cambridge by area.
The college boasts magnificent gardens and extends onto the famous Cambridge Backs beyond the River Cam, with its courts connected by the beautiful Bridge of Sighs.
