Your route into Weston Homes Stadium
For most league fixtures, visiting supporters enter the away allocation in the Kings Power Solutions Stand. Follow the away-supporter signs and the turnstile information printed on your ticket rather than heading to a home entrance. From Peterborough station or the city centre, cross Town Bridge and approach the ground from London Road. From Pleasure Fair Meadow or Railworld, follow the marked pedestrian route towards the stadium, then continue round to your allocated entrance. Large away followings may also receive seats in the GH Display Stand. Peterborough has confirmed that this arrangement changes with demand, so your fixture ticket is the final guide to the correct turnstiles.

After the match
If you parked at Pleasure Fair Meadow, expect the surrounding London Road and Town Bridge approaches to be busy after full-time. Walk back using the pedestrian route you used on arrival and allow extra time before joining outbound traffic. For a train, return over Town Bridge, pass the city-centre ASDA area and use the pedestrian underpass towards Peterborough station. Do not book a tight connection on the assumption that you can leave your seat, cross the bridge and board immediately. If a coach is collecting you, follow the organiser's confirmed meeting point at Pleasure Fair Meadow or Railworld. Any temporary traffic arrangements or a changed away allocation can affect where the group meets.

Choose your base before your hotel

Peterborough railway station is the best arrival point. Walk to Weston Homes Stadium in around 15–20 minutes, crossing towards the River Nene and London Road. It is a manageable town-centre walk, so you normally do not need a taxi.
Leave the station towards Bourges Boulevard, use the pedestrian underpass by the large roundabout and continue past ASDA. Turn towards Town Bridge at the traffic lights, cross the river and follow the stadium signs. Peterborough station has step-free access to all platforms, but that does not establish a fully step-free walking route to your seat.
For a tight return connection, check your train before kick-off and allow time for the crowds on Town Bridge.

Station to ground & away entrance
For most league fixtures, visiting supporters enter the away allocation in the Kings Power Solutions Stand. Follow the away-supporter signs and the turnstile information printed on your ticket rather than heading to a home entrance.
From Peterborough station or the city centre, cross Town Bridge and approach the ground from London Road. From Pleasure Fair Meadow or Railworld, follow the marked pedestrian route towards the stadium, then continue round to your allocated entrance.
Large away followings may also receive seats in the GH Display Stand. Peterborough has confirmed that this arrangement changes with demand, so your fixture ticket is the final guide to the correct turnstiles.

Buses & local travel
The walk from Peterborough station is usually easier than taking a bus, but buses are available if you prefer not to cover the distance on foot. Peterborough United lists routes 1, 3, 5, 5A, 6, 31 and 33 as services you can use to reach the ground.
Queensgate Bus Station is close to the railway station and city centre. Check the current operator journey planner for the correct boarding stop and direction, then use a London Road stop convenient for your allocated entrance.
After the match, check where your return bus actually stops before leaving the ground. Do not assume every service on the club's general list runs at the same frequency late on a weekday evening.
- Listed services
- Bus routes 1, 3, 5, 5A, 6, 31 and 33 can be used for the stadium area.

Away coaches
Visiting coaches should use the designated matchday coach parking at Pleasure Fair Meadow, opposite the stadium on Oundle Road. Peterborough City Council lists a £26 charge for football coaches on United home-match days.
The club also identifies the Railworld area as an option for coach operators. Arrange the exact arrival, unloading and collection position with your coach organiser before travelling, rather than assuming the vehicle can pull up at the away turnstiles.
From the Oundle Road parking area, supporters reach the stadium on foot using the pedestrian route. Stay with your organiser's instructions after full-time because the final collection point may depend on the fixture and local traffic management.

Accessible journeys
Book accessible matchday parking through Peterborough United before travelling rather than relying on an unreserved stadium space. The club has a limited number of Blue Badge spaces for home and away supporters, priced at £10 and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Call the ticket office on 01733 865674.
The club also identifies accessible drop-off points and Blue Badge parking at Pleasure Fair Meadow, where the council's normal car-park tariff applies. Peterborough railway station has step-free access to all platforms, but you should confirm the route and facilities for your particular stand.
For wheelchair seating, hearing or visual assistance and other requirements, contact the club's accessibility team before buying your away allocation. Stewards can help with designated facilities on the day.

Where to stay
Stay around Peterborough railway station, Rivergate or Cathedral Square if you want to make a night of the football. These areas keep the mainline station, city-centre pubs and restaurants within walking distance, while the ground is an easy walk across Town Bridge. The Rivergate end of the centre is particularly handy if getting to the stadium matters most. A hotel closer to Queensgate or the railway station is a better fit for an early train the following morning. There is little need to stay beside London Road unless you prioritise the shortest possible walk to the match. Compare live room prices on your exact fixture date rather than assuming a standard Saturday rate.
Getting Around Peterborough ↗For most supporters, base yourself in the compact city-centre belt between Wentworth Street, Westgate, Cathedral Square and Broadway. It keeps the station, pre/post-match food and drink, and the ground within walking range. The exception is anyone whose overriding priority is stepping out of the hotel almost straight into the stadium: The Queensgate Hotel is effectively beside the ground, but its current quality and parking-feedback profile is weaker than the better central choices.
For the evening
The better evening base is north of the river in the city centre. Westgate and Cathedral Square give a useful food-and-drink cluster, while Broadway is the clearest late-evening strip; local tourism material describes O'Neill's as sitting at the centre of Peterborough's Broadway nightlife area.
For the train
Peterborough station sits on the western side of the centre. The venue's own events information describes the stadium as about a 10-minute walk from the station; in practice pace and the Town Bridge/road crossings can make a little longer sensible to allow. Park Inn and The Bull are convenient for both station and stadium without requiring a taxi.
