PARK CRESCENT connects Broadway with Park Road in one of Peterborough's most sought-after residential areas lying about one mile north of the city centre. It is within walking distance of the King's School and Deacons Academy. There are frequent services to King's Cross from the the city's mainline railway station with journey times to London taking from about 45 minutes.
