Stretching through Millfield and New England, Lincoln Road is one of Peterborough’s most vibrant and culturally diverse streets. This bustling high street offers a sensory mix of world food shops, family-run restaurants, bakeries, and markets alongside long-standing local businesses. Visitors can browse stalls brimming with fresh produce, explore specialist grocers stocked with ingredients from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and enjoy authentic cuisine in casual cafés and eateries.
The street is also home to small boutiques, fabric shops, and independent services, making it an ideal place to experience the city’s multicultural character first-hand. Regular community events and seasonal celebrations add to the atmosphere, and colourful shopfronts and street art give the area a distinctive visual identity.
