Gunthorpe is a well-established residential pocket of northern Peterborough, largely shaped by the city’s planned expansion in the 1960s and 70s. It sits between the busier Paston and Werrington districts, bounded to the west by the A15 (Paston Parkway), which provides a straightforward connection to the Orbits and the wider road network. The layout is typical of its era, featuring plenty of cul-de-sacs and green pedestrian walkways that keep the housing away from the main thoroughfares. At its heart is the local shopping parade on Argyle Street, which serves as a practical hub alongside the community centre and the primary school. While it is a quiet, suburban area, it benefits from being within walking distance of the Brookside and Itter Park spaces, offering a bit of breathing room from the urban centre. It’s the kind of place where people tend to settle for the long term, valued more for its functional geography and reliable bus links into the city centre than for being a through-route for tourists.
