Explore the stories etched into Peterborough’s streets through the Blue Plaque Trail. Each plaque reveals a piece of the city’s heritage — from royal visitors to inventors, artists and reformers — creating an inspiring open-air museum of local history.
A fine example of inter-war architecture, Peterborough Town Hall blends art-deco grace with civic purpose. Its grand council chamber and clock tower have witnessed decades of local democracy, celebrating the city’s spirit of progress, pride and community since 1933.
This elegant 17th-century landmark, once the seat of civic life, stands proudly at the centre of Cathedral Square. With its open arches and carved stonework, the Guildhall connects past and present — a perfect spot to pause and watch city life unfold.
Housed in a Georgian mansion, the museum tells the city’s story from Roman settlement to modern times. Explore archaeology, fine art, fossils and ghost stories in one of Peterborough’s most atmospheric buildings.
Rising gracefully over Cathedral Square, St John’s has welcomed worshippers since 1407. Step inside to find carved angels, medieval roof bosses and a tranquil stillness that contrasts the bustle outside — a timeless haven at the city’s civic heart.
Discover Peterborough Cathedral, one of England’s great Norman buildings. Admire its monumental West Front, rare medieval painted ceiling and Katharine of Aragon’s tomb while exploring more than 900 years of architecture, worship and history.
