St Neots is a popular market town with a population of approximately 26,000 and is located around 50 miles north of London, 18 miles west of Cambridge, 11 miles north-east of Bedford and 25 miles south of Peterborough. The A1 by-passes the town providing excellent north/south road communications and the A14 lies approximately 8 miles to the north. There is a mainline railway station serving the town with frequent services to London (St Pancras International). The A428 passes to the south of the town and is shortly to be substantially upgraded significantly reducing journey times between Cambridge and the Black Cat roundabout on the A1.
