Discover Peterborough
Peterborough is a cathedral city in the east of England, set on the River Nene where the Fens meet the East Midlands. It has long been a centre for logistics and distribution, helped by its position on the East Coast Main Line and close to the A1(M), and it continues to see steady residential growth around the city. Employers range from engineering and food production to services based in the city centre and the business areas at Hampton and Orton. People come to Peterborough for work across the region, including logistics and local infrastructure projects, and for the fast rail link to London in around fifty minutes. The city has a good range of shops, restaurants and green space along the river. WJO Property sources fully furnished accommodation around Peterborough with one point of contact.
