London Road is a multi-use stadium in Peterborough, England. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of Peterborough United F.C.. The stadium holds 15,460 and was built in 1913, although the original ground bears little resemblance to the one seen today.

The record attendance at the stadium currently stands at just over 30,000, with this unlikely to be beaten in the near future as it was set when most of the ground consisted of terracing.

Currently the stands behind either goal, London Road end and Moyes end (away fans), are both still terraced. However, in 1996 the new South stand was opened on Glebe road. Originally, the back gardens of the houses off Glebe Road looked out directly onto the Pitch.

London Road has been the venue to some great matches for Peterborough United in recent times, including Peterborough United Vs Newcastle United in the FA Cup 4th round and Peterborough United Vs Manchester United for Barry Fry's testamonial, plus many others to teams like Liverpool, Birmingham City and Celtic. Players such as Wayne Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand to name a few graced the pitch. Also Owen Hargreaves recently in 2007 made his Manchester United debut at the stadium.

The stadium is currently owned by Peterborough United Holdings Ltd (PUHL), who are seeking planning permission to develop the Moys End Away Terrace into a 2,000 seater stand and also build 135 new luxury flats.

New Club chairman Darragh MacAnthony has stated he is not interested in developing the ground and is instead interested in building a new ground.

PUHL have refused to allow MacAnthony to purchase the club until they have been given planning permission for the development.
