Peterborough is the largest City in Cambridgeshire with a current population of approximately 188,000. It is 75 Miles from London but with the fast, direct rail link into London it is very much a commuter town with 4 trains an hour taking just 45 minutes into London Kings Cross Station.
In 2006 a £1 billion redevelopment of the city centre was approved to cope with the ever increasing population and growth of the city. The central cathedral square area is a bustling combination of old and historic architecture with street entertainment, alfresco cafes and Farmers Markets whilst the modern Queensgate and Rivergate shopping centres house a wealth of shops and restaurants. The stunning Cathedral that towers over the town centre is nearly 900 years old and undoubtedly one of the finest in the country and the Guildhall’s charming façade all add to the charm of this ever growing city. The city also has a 13-screen cinema, an ice-rink, a rowing and canoeing centre, an indoor cricket stadium and three golf courses. The city is ringed with fast roads and bypasses, making life easy for drivers and pedestrians alike.
