Peterborough

Peterborough is a city in Cambridgeshire, England, with a population of just over 200,000. Originally a brick manufacturing centre during the Industrial Revolution, a significant proportion of jobs are now found in the tertiary sector, such as financial services. The city is also a key location for warehousing and distribution due to its location on a key railway junction on the route between London and Edinburgh. The city centre is currently undergoing a £1 billion regeneration project.
