Its high street includes independent shops, cafés, a post office, pharmacy, pubs and essential services, while a weekly market keeps the town's historic trading spirit alive. Families are well catered for, with several schools including the well-regarded Soham Village College, and a good range of sports clubs, green spaces and community groups. <br /> <br />A major advantage of Soham is its railway station, offering direct connections to Ely in under 10 minutes and Cambridge in just over 20 minutes, making it ideal for commuters, students or day-trippers.
