Visa and settlement advice for a fast-growing cathedral city
Peterborough’s population rose by 17.5% between the 2011 and 2021 censuses, from around 183,600 to 215,700 people. Designated a New Town in 1967, the city now reaches from the cathedral and city centre out to Bretton, Werrington, Paston, Orton and Hampton, and it gained its own university campus, ARU Peterborough, in 2022.
Peterborough station sits on the East Coast Main Line, but there is no direct train to Bedford and the drive is roughly 40 miles. For that reason we usually begin Peterborough cases with a video or phone consultation, with documents sent by email. Whether you work at Peterborough City Hospital, in one of the city’s distribution or financial services businesses, or run a company of your own, the advice and the fixed fees are the same as at our office.
