Peterborough United are based at London Road and are known for attacking football, developing forwards and regular movement between the Championship and League One. The Posh have a strong Cambridgeshire identity and a traditional riverside ground close to the city centre. Promotion ambition is a regular theme around the club.
The Weston Homes Stadium, still widely known by many supporters as London Road, is a traditional football ground in a very convenient city-centre-edge location. Football has been played on the site since the late 19th century, and while the stadium has been modernised over time, it still feels like a proper stand-by-stand lower-league ground rather than a new out-of-town bowl.
The Meerkat Family Stand is the large two-tier seated stand on one side and contains much of the family-focused matchday activity. Opposite is the GH Display Stand, which has been part of recent consultation and supporter discussion around home-end arrangements. Behind one goal is the Weston Homes London Road End, a home area with rail seating and one of the key atmosphere points in the ground. Away supporters are housed behind the opposite goal in the Kings Power Solutions Stand away section.
The stadium is compact, close to the pitch and capable of producing a strong noise when the London Road End and away end are both active. It does not have the polished uniform feel of a modern all-seater stadium, but that is part of the appeal. The location beside the River Nene, close to the city centre, railway station and main roads, makes it one of the more practical traditional grounds to visit.
A local rivalry between Cambridge and Peterborough, given edge by county pride and the contrast between university city and railway town football cultures.

Away supporters are normally housed in the away section of the Kings Power Solutions Stand, behind one of the goals. Peterborough United's stadium plan lists a separate home and away split in this stand, with the away section forming the established visiting end. It is a covered behind-the-goal area and gives a close, direct view of the pitch.
The away end is on the side of the stadium nearest the London Road / river approach, with visiting supporters generally entering through the away turnstiles and following steward directions around the south-east side of the ground. Because the stadium is compact and sits close to busy roads, the approach can become crowded when a large away following travels.
The away allocation is good for many League One fixtures but not huge compared with larger modern grounds. Visiting supporters should buy in advance for high-demand games and check whether tickets are seated, standing, digital or collection-based. The away end can create a strong noise because of the compact roof and proximity to the pitch.
Use A1(M) southbound then A1139 Fletton Parkway, then follow signs for London Road Stadium and the near Peterborough city centre and the River Nene area. The ground is fairly central; city-centre or pre-booked parking with a short walk is often easiest. Allow extra time for the final local roads around kick-off and check current matchday traffic or parking instructions before setting off.

Peterborough station is the correct rail station for London Road / Weston Homes Stadium and is very well connected on the East Coast Main Line and regional routes. It is useful from London, Leeds, York, Newcastle, Cambridge, Leicester, Birmingham and Norwich-side connections.
Leave Peterborough station and walk through the city centre towards the River Nene and London Road. The walk is usually around 10 to 15 minutes. Follow signs for the football ground and allow extra time around river crossings and stadium approach roads.
Stansted is a good airport for Peterborough United because it keeps you out of central London and has workable rail routes across the region. Depending on the timetable, you can travel from Stansted towards Peterborough with a manageable change.
Once you reach Peterborough station, London Road is around a 10 to 15 minute walk. If the trains line up, this is one of the cleaner airport-to-ground journeys in League One.
Luton Airport can also work for Peterborough, especially for budget flights. Get to Luton Airport Parkway, then use rail connections north towards Peterborough, usually with a change along the way.
It is not as naturally placed as Stansted, but it is still realistic and avoids a full cross-London transfer. Check the connections before booking around evening kick-offs.
Peterborough United's ground is close enough to the city centre that many supporters walk, but Stagecoach East buses from Queensgate Bus Station can be useful if you want to save time or avoid bad weather. Services towards the London Road and Town Bridge side of the city put you within a short walk of the stadium.
The bus station is close to Peterborough railway station, so this can work as a simple station-to-ground link. For most supporters, though, the decision is between walking and a very short bus or taxi ride.
The taxi rank at Peterborough station is a straightforward option for the Weston Homes Stadium. The journey is short and normally quick, although traffic around London Road can build before kick-off.
Because the ground is close to the centre, taxis are most useful for late arrivals, poor weather or supporters with luggage. After the match, walking back towards the station may be quicker than waiting for a cab in the immediate stadium crowd.
A2B Taxis are a local Peterborough private-hire option and can be useful if you are travelling from hotels, the outskirts of the city or nearby villages rather than from the station. Pre-booking is sensible if you need a return journey after an evening match.
For the stadium, arrange a drop-off on London Road or a nearby side street and leave time for the short walk in.
A2B Euro Cars are a major Peterborough taxi operator and are useful for journeys from the station, hotels or suburbs to London Road. The stadium is close to the centre, but a taxi can help if you are arriving late or carrying luggage.
Because the ground is walkable from Peterborough station, many supporters will not need a cab unless their accommodation is away from the centre.
Pleasure Fair Meadow is one of the best-known parking options for Peterborough United. It is close to the Weston Homes Stadium and is reached from the river and city-centre side of Peterborough, leaving a short walk to London Road.
It is popular on matchdays, so arrive early. Expect normal pay-and-display or event-style charges, usually only a few pounds, and check the machine or app for the latest tariff.
Peterborough city-centre car parks around Riverside and Queensgate are useful if you want food or pubs before the match. The stadium is close enough for a 10 to 20 minute walk from many central car parks.
Prices vary by car park and length of stay. This option can be easier after full-time because you are already pointed back towards the city road network.
A floating bar on the river and a popular Peterborough stop, close enough to combine with the walk to London Road. It is a good choice for supporters arriving early by train.
A casual city-centre food option useful for groups and families before heading to London Road. It is close to the shopping and station side of Peterborough.
A central hotel within walking distance of the station, city centre and Weston Homes Stadium. It is a practical base for an overnight fixture.
Peterborough is one of the more convenient traditional grounds for train travellers. The railway station is within walking distance of the stadium, with the usual pedestrian route taking supporters through the city-centre side and towards the river. It is close enough to be practical, but still allow time for queues, underpasses and busy road crossings.
There is no public matchday parking at the Weston Homes Stadium itself, so drivers should plan to use nearby public car parks such as Pleasure Fair Meadow, Railworld or other council car parks around the town bridge area. Do not arrive expecting stadium parking unless you have a specific pass or non-matchday arrangement.
For neutrals, the Meerkat Family Stand gives a good seated view and family-friendly facilities, while the London Road End is the home atmosphere area. The ground is compact and lively, but the streets and car parks around it can become slow after full-time, especially when a large away support is leaving.
Peterborough United sell home tickets through the club's official ticketing channels, with online sales, ticket office support and fixture-specific arrangements. The Meerkat Family Stand is the best choice for families and first-time visitors, while the London Road End is the natural home atmosphere area. Side-stand seats are usually better for supporters wanting a more complete view of the match.
Away tickets are normally sold through the visiting club from the Kings Power Solutions Stand away allocation. Visiting supporters should check their own club's ticket news for sale windows, ticket format, collections and whether pay-on-the-day is available. Because the away section is not huge, high-demand fixtures should be bought in advance.
Supporters using digital tickets should have them ready before reaching the turnstiles. Anyone collecting tickets should arrive early because the area around London Road and the stadium entrances can become busy close to kick-off.
The Weston Homes Stadium operates standard EFL ground regulations. Supporters should expect ticket checks, stewarding and searches where required. Pyrotechnics, smoke bombs, offensive weapons, alcohol brought into the ground, discriminatory abuse, missile throwing and entering the pitch are prohibited.
Supporters should use the entrance, stand and block shown on their ticket. Away fans should remain in the Kings Power Solutions Stand away section and follow any segregation or post-match exit instructions. Because the stadium is compact and close to public roads, crowd movement can be controlled around the away end for higher-risk fixtures.
There is no public matchday parking at the stadium, so supporters should not attempt to use stadium access roads or private areas without the correct pass. Follow parking signs, steward directions and council restrictions around the town bridge and London Road.
Peterborough United publish a policy for supporters with disabilities and state that the club takes a person-centred approach to reasonable adjustments. Disabled supporters who require wheelchair spaces, accessible seating, personal assistant tickets or specific support should contact the club or their own ticket office in advance.
Away disabled supporters should book through their own club from the visiting allocation and confirm where accessible positions are located for that fixture. The Weston Homes Stadium is a mix of older and newer areas, so access arrangements can vary by stand.
Supporters requiring parking should be aware that there is no general public matchday parking at the stadium. Blue Badge holders and disabled supporters should check official arrangements early rather than leaving parking or drop-off plans until matchday.
Peterborough United offer official Weston Homes Stadium tours. The club has advertised fully guided tours that give supporters behind-the-scenes access to areas normally out of bounds, including spaces connected to the dressing rooms, pitchside, trophy areas, boardroom and other stadium facilities.
Tours are usually offered on selected dates, especially around school holidays, rather than as a daily walk-up attraction. Supporters should book through Peterborough United's official channels and check the latest available dates, prices and arrival instructions before travelling.
The main city attraction and easy to visit before the match. It is close to the city centre and within a manageable walk of London Road.
