Why choose this area to live and work?

The charming cathedral city of Peterborough offers residents the Cambridgeshire lifestyle at a more affordable price than Cambridge itself.

The medieval town centre offers sites of historical interest, heritage architecture and excellent food from a diverse range of restaurants.

Predicted to be one of the fastest-growing cities in England by 2025, there’s plenty to do in Peterborough. Its convenient distance from London, but also from Norwich, Cambridge and Leicester also makes it ideal for commuters.

Known as the ‘Gateway to the Fens’, Peterborough is a stone’s throw from the wildlife-rich marshland that covers much of the county, meaning that it retains its rural feel despite the city’s growing size. While enjoying the nearby countryside, you can also be in London for a day out. The journey from Peterborough to London Kings Cross is just 45 minutes.
