About Peterborough
Peterborough is one of the UK’s fastest growing cities, and is predicted to be England’s fastest growing city by 2025.
At the heart of Peterborough’s city centre is the £12 million transformation of the Cathedral Square, which provides a buzzing modern piazza and quiet spaces, with an unparalleled historic backdrop. It’s the perfect place to meet, shop, eat or just relax.
This regeneration has been instrumental in creating a thriving and vibrant evening social scene – with new additions such as Argo Lounge, Bill’s Restaurant, Patisserie Valerie, Carluccio’s, Wildwood and Nando’s.
And, with plans for a £100 million regeneration of North Westgate, which will include a new eight-screen cinema, a new public square and new homes, shops and restaurants, now moving firmly ahead, the excitement and buzz in the city centre continues to grow.
Peterborough is also a city of history and culture. It has one of the finest Norman cathedrals in the country, which is the burial place of Katherine of Aragon and is home to the Elizabethan splendour of Burghley House.
The city also boasts the highest amount of green space per person in the country, has beautiful landscapes from country parks to working farmland, and of course was home to the ‘rural poet’ John Clare.
