Christ the Servant King, Hampton

The modern church sits just east of Peterborough, a striking contemporary building that stands out against the Cambridgeshire flatlands. Christ the Servant King is a working parish church, not a tourist attraction in the traditional sense, but it's worth a look if you're passing through or staying at one of the nearby caravan parks - Ferry Meadows is only a couple of miles away.

The architecture is clean and functional rather than ornate, reflecting its relatively recent construction. If you're into modern ecclesiastical design, it's interesting enough for a quick visit. For families, it's a peaceful spot to stretch your legs between park activities, though don't expect much to occupy children for long - it's a functioning church, not a visitor experience.

The real draw here is context. Combine it with a walk around Ferry Meadows or Nene Outdoors - both solid bases for exploring the Peterborough area. The church works best as part of a broader day out rather than a destination in itself. Opening times aren't always clear, so it's worth checking locally or ringing ahead if you're making a special effort.

Honestly, this is more of a 'we happened to pass it' spot than a reason to plan your route around. That said, Peterborough itself has plenty of history and charm if you're after something more substantial, and the surrounding parks make for decent family breaks.
