Why Peterborough
Our digital and physical connectivity has made Peterborough a place where industry can turn its ambitions into reality. We’re the biggest city in the East of England and sit within two of the UK’s fastest growth areas – the UK-Innovation-Corridor, spanning cities from Peterborough to London, and the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, stretching from Oxfordshire in the west to Peterborough and Cambridgeshire in the east. To our most northern area, the Midlands Engine is also improving growth and supporting innovation in our area.
Businesses are excited about the opportunities our area offers. We’re one of the most competitive locations in the country; premium office space goes for 40% the rate in Cambridge and 60% of Milton Keynes; yet a base in Peterborough puts you next to the A1(M), A47 and A11, provides a 39-minute direct train ride to London King’s Cross, and access to an agile, skilled workforce.
