About

St Peters ward encompasses the historic heart of St Albans, centred on the cathedral and its surrounding precincts.

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 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.
