Whittlesford is an enormously popular historic village. It is far enough away from Cambridge to be peaceful but close enough to offer an easy commute, and it has a good range of local facilities. Junction 10 of the M11 is only about a mile away, and on the outskirts of the village is its mainline railway station, Whittlesford Parkway, which offers services to Cambridge and London Liverpool Street and makes the village an excellent base for commuting down to London.

Within the village, there is a post office store, The Tickell Arms bar and restaurant, and The Bees in the Wall public house. There is also the Red Lion Inn and a hotel by the railway station. The village has various societies, clubs, and sports teams, and an OFSTED 'Good' primary school that feeds to the OFSTED 'Good' Sawston Village College.
