Peterborough is my home town. I have lived there all of my life except these last few months I have been at University--- one thing which Peterborough really really needs! Its located on a direct rail route with London and is about 120km North. Part of Cambridgeshire, Peterborough is a growing city currently under massive redevelopment. Home to about 160,000 its one of Britain's top 50 largest city's but from experience not one of the 50 best! The city is full of culture. There is Flag Fen, and the cathedral. And also a few galleries and museum's. Its also home to Peterborough Utd F.C who are currently challenging for promotion in ...  Read the complete review

But when I was 16 I went to Peterborough technical college now called Peterborough regional college. Here I took my N N E B certificate. The college holds many different levels of courses. A levels, GCSEs GVNQs, BTECs, Professional qualifications, skills for life and many others. Peterborough is on the train line from London up north, The A1 runs about 8 miles west of Peterborough. Peterborough is 80 miles north of London. And many people commute to London for work. The ...  Read the complete review

I happen to live in Peterborough and have done all my life and i cant wait to get out. Peterborough is a city, which contains a cathedral, many shops, a shopping centre called Queensgate, a key theatre, many nightclubs, pubs, indoor and outdoor pools, schools, regional college, restaurants, a museum and 2 cinemas to name a few. It also has a job centre, though avoid if possible - they arent very nice in there! Peterborough used to be a really safe place, but just lately over the last couple of years, it has become very unsafe. There has been alot of vandalism, criminal offences, robberies, muggings and murders. Though i suppose every city has its share ...  Read the complete review

To be honest I dont actually live in Peterboro, I live not far away in Boston but because boston is aload of rubbish ( u could refer to my opinion about it) Peterboro is my seccond home as we always visit it. The shopping centre is great, there are plenty of car spaces and the shops in it are really good.There are a range of chain stores and other indepentant stores. If you reeeeeally want to know some of the stores then write a nice comment and I might include them because I dont really want to do any unneccersry typing and it might bore you. Outside there are loads of shops to visit and its quite pleasent and clean to walk through.There are a few ...  Read the complete review
