About

St Peters ward encompasses the historic heart of St Albans, centred on the cathedral and its surrounding precincts. The area is defined by its medieval street pattern, with narrow lanes and timber-framed buildings radiating from the market place. It contains the cathedral and abbey grounds, the Roman theatre site, and the Verulamium Museum, situating it as the city's primary historical and cultural core.

The ward is primarily residential with a mix of housing, from Victorian terraces to modern apartments, though its character is dominated by its function as a visitor destination. The weekly street market operates in St Peters Street, and the area includes key civic buildings like the Town Hall and the Alban Arena. The River Ver flows through the southern section, bordering the parkland of Verulamium Park.
