PE4 is a postcode located in the city of Peterborough, in the East of England. It covers the north-east of Peterborough, from Newborough to Stanground, and from Eastfield to Werrington.

The city's main shopping centre, Queensgate, and the Peterborough United football stadium are also located within the PE4 area.

Deciphering Crime Rates - a Deep Dive Into UK Postcode Analysis
Ever wondered about the crime rate in your UK postcode? You're not alone. We've dug deep into the data, uncovering trends and patterns that'll make your head spin.

The Redesign is Underway
Well, the current website was absolutely in dire need of a good redesign - from the ground up. So I set out to pull it all apart and get it up and running again to become the most comprehensive guide to every postcode in the UK. And it's been a long, tough job from start to finish - and quite possibly the biggest project I've ever undertaken.
