Open Homes workspaceAbout Peterborough
Peterborough grew around its magnificent Norman cathedral, one of the finest in England and the burial place of Catherine of Aragon. On the edge of the flat, fertile Fens, it became a major railway and engineering town in the 19th century and was designated a New Town for expansion in the 1960s. Today it is a fast-growing city with excellent East Coast Main Line links to London, giving it one of the region's most active and diverse rental markets.
