Peterborough Guildhall stands in Cathedral Square, a small but elegant 17th-century civic building raised on open arches. It gives the modern square a historic anchor and is one of the easiest central landmarks to spot after the cathedral.
The building is best appreciated as part of a short walk through the centre rather than as a destination on its own. Look at how it mediates between the commercial streets and the cathedral precinct: Peterborough's old civic and ecclesiastical worlds still meet here.
