About

West Town sits immediately west of Peterborough city centre. The area is a mix of Victorian terraces and post-war housing, with local shopping parades and social clubs on its main roads. A community centre runs activities for all ages and several primary schools serve the neighbourhood. Small parks and playgrounds are dotted through the streets, and most residents reach the centre and station by a short walk or frequent bus. The street pattern shows rows of terraced streets giving way to broader avenues toward the outer edges.

Woodston lies south of the River Nene and retains traces of its former village core. Residential streets sit alongside pockets of light industry and riverside land; where the river meets the bank there are stepped revetments and old mooring posts that hint at past wharf activity. A railway line marks a firm edge to parts of the area and rows of former warehouses and yards have been repurposed for small businesses. Local pubs, churches and community groups provide focal points, and residents take an active interest in protecting play spaces and greens.
