Peterborough

Peterborough is one of the 69 Cathedral Cities in the UK and known for its rich historical heritage. With roots that can be traced back to Roman Empire days, it developed over time as small settlements. By the 18th century, the city established its footing as a small market town, but real development came in the 19th century when the brick-making industry flourished, and the population steadily grew. The trend continued into the 1900s, triggering rapid industrial growth that is credited for the presently thriving economy of the city.

Peterborough has a colorful and diverse culture. The city’s love for arts, education, sport, and media is what makes it so attractive to people from all over the world. There are hundreds of tourist landmarks and attractions in the city, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the Norman Cathedral. With a population that includes people of African, Indian, Pakistani, and Italian descent, the city is one of the more culturally diverse areas of England. 

Often called a city of innovation, Peterborough has a robust industrial and business sector. The primary industries in the area include manufacturing, food, energy, and financial services. With an already well-established international reputation, the city’s strong ambitions are expected to soon turn it into a global economic power. Since the implementation of a redevelopment plan in 2012, Peterborough has had a 3.78 percent per year industrial growth. Not only is this greatly benefiting the economy, but it’s also opening up great opportunities for real estate investors from around the world.
