Serpentine Green is a shopping centre that opened 8 February 1999 in the Hampton Hargate district of Southern Peterborough in England. It is named after the nearby Serpentine Lake and the adjoining dual-carrigeway outside the centre 'The Serpentine' When it was built the Tesco outlet was a flagship branch, and the largest store in the UK, with a floor space of 130,000 square feet (12,000 m2), - larger stores have since been built however. The centre comprises 34 shop units including branches of WHSmith, Next, Outfit, H&M, Boots as well as many branches of other national retailers. The centre also houses a food court and health centre/library in the Rotunda. A 2,100 space car park is provided for the large numbers of visitors the centre receives, especially in the run-up to Christmas. The centre is situated off the A15 road from the A1139, Fletton Parkway, that skirts the south of Peterborough and runs between the centre and the Orton district of the city to the North. On 5 May 2011, the centre saw the opening of a new Mothercare store. In November 2016, Serpentine Green commenced its first major redevelopment of the centre adding 2,300 m2 (25,000 sq. ft.) of space including a new mezzanine floor and outdoor seating area. Work is expected to finish in Summer 2017. In 2019, Mothercare and WHSmith were closed and new shops will be coming soon.

Hampton College, Peterborough

Hampton College is an all-through school for pupils aged 4 to 18, located in Hampton, Peterborough, England.The school opened to years 7 and 8 in September 2005. By 2008 the school accepted students in years 7 through to 11. Further expansion, including a sixth form, was initially due for completion by 2010. Although the school began AS Level courses in September 2009, the date for the new buildings was reviewed. Phase 2 of the school building programme started 2011. In 2016 the sister school Hampton Gardens was built along with a 3G Astro turf football field. The Hampton Academies Trust was also formed, being led by Hampton College’s former Headmistress, Helen Price, in an attempt to unify the education and community of Hampton. Hampton College and Hampton Gardens operate under a joint Sixth Form community with students learning in both schools. Hampton Gardens focuses on performing arts and dance classes whilst Hampton College retains its focus on Humanities. A third school, Hampton Lakes, is planned to be built in 2021 to complete the Hampton Academies Trust. The school currently boasts an outdoor amphitheatre and is built around a courtyard setting. In the evenings, the school is used for a variety of groups and adult education classes and it is hoped that the school will eventually form the heart of the community within Hampton. The college was found to be 'outstanding' by Ofsted in 2007, and was rated as 'outstanding' in 6 out of a possible 7 categories, putting it in the top 2% of schools nationally. A further Ofsted inspection in July 2010 again judged the school to be 'outstanding', however, since 2017, Ofsted have lowered the school’s rating to ‘good’.
