How To Get There By Car & Where To Park
The ground is located on the outskirts of the city centre, on the A15 London Road. The ground is fairly well signposted around the town centre.
From the North/West:
Drive into the town centre, follow signs for Whittlesey (A605) which will lead you to the London Road. The new stand is quite visible from some distance away, so keep a lookout.

From the South:
Leave the A1 at the junction with the A15. Take the A15 towards Peterborough, you will eventually come to the ground on your right.

There is a car park at the ground or otherwise there is a council pay & display car park just off London Road (on your left as you pass the ground going towards the town centre).

By Train
Peterborough station is around a mile away from the ground. Turn right out of station and follow the main road, passing an Asda store on your right. At the traffic lights near to the Rivergate Shopping Centre, turn right. Go over the bridge and you can see the floodlights of London Road, over on your left. It takes about 20 minutes to walk from the station to the ground


Where To Drink?
'The Cherry Tree pub on Oundle Rd is quite popular with away fans. Although small it is a friendly pub. It costs £2 to park in their car park but you get £2 off a beer if you present the parking ticket at the bar'. And its only a short walk from town where there is a number of pubs

What's The Ground Like?
On one side of the ground is the Norwich & Peterborough South Stand, which was opened in 1996 and replaced a former open terrace. Encased in supporting tubular steelwork, the 5,000 capacity stand is an impressive sight. The two tiered stand, is covered and all seated. There is also a row of executive boxes running across its middle. The other side, the Main Stand, is a two tiered covered stand that is all seated. Both ends are covered terracing that look almost identical. They were given white roofs a couple of seasons back, in an effort to brighten up their appearance. However they both have a number of supporting pillars at the front of them, which could impede your view of the game. They do though give some charm to London Road, as these types of terraces are quickly disappearing from the football landscape in this country. Interestingly, there is an open air gap at the back of these terraces between the roof and the back supporting wall, which must mean that they can get a bit draughty in winter. In one corner of the ground between the South Stand and the London Road Terrace, is a Police Control Box. On either side of the Main Stand are two tall, old fashioned looking floodlights. The ground had a set of four at one time, but two were taken down when the new South Stand was built.


What Is It Like For Visiting Supporters?
Just under 4,000 away fans can be accommodated in the Moyes Terrace, with a further 800 seats being made available to away fans in the Main (North) Stand. If however, only a small away following is expected, then the terrace is kept closed and away supporters are housed just in the Block A seats of the Main Stand. The Moyes Terrace has several supporting pillars, which may obstruct your view, but the acoustics of the covered terrace are good, lending to a good atmosphere
