Stadium Info
London Road is a traditional 'old' football ground. The official capacity is 15,460, although they are only allowed just over 14,000 for health and safety reasons set by the local council. It has terracing at either end behind the goals and running the length of the pitch is the main stand and the newest addition to the stadium, the Norwich and Peterborough stand. The latter can hold approximately 5,000 fans and is an impressive sight from inside the ground.
Away Fans
Visiting supporters are situated on the Moyes Terrace where 3,700 fans can be accomodated whilst a further 800 seats are made available in the main stand. If however, only a small following of away fans are expected then the terrace is kept closed and the away supporters are housed in Block A 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.
Where To Drink
The Cherry Tree on Oundle Road accepts home and away supporters. As an added advantage it's possible to park your car there for a small fee. The Peacock also welcomes away fans and has a wide selection of hot and cold drinks and food on offer. The pub can be found just past London road by the KFC restaurant.
There is a burger bar just outside the ground, a KFC opposite the ground and various food outlets along London Road to make sure you wont go hungry.
Parking
There is plenty of parking available at the stadium itself. If however, it's full when you arrive, there's a large pay and display a little further along London Road as you head towards the town centre. The cost of which is approximately £3 per car. Street parking is available but you'll need to arrive very early to guarantee a good spot.
By Train
The nearest / closest train station to Peterborough United's London Road Stadium is Peterborough. The railway station is around a 10-15 minute walk away.
From the train station to the stadium: turn right out of the station and into the long-stay car park. Go under the railway bridge and walk up the path or steps to the main road. Turn right, passing the Evening Telegraph on the left-hand side and Asda to the right. Turn right into the pedestrian shopping area (Bridge Street) and straight on over River Bridge and mini roundabout. The ground is on the left-hand side.
