::summary Postcode area within the United Kingdom ::

The PE postcode area, also known as the Peterborough postcode area, is a group of 36 postcode districts in eastern England, within 18 post towns. These cover north and west Cambridgeshire (including Peterborough, Huntingdon, Chatteris, St. Neots, St. Ives, March and Wisbech), much of south and east Lincolnshire (including Bourne, Stamford, Spalding, Boston, Skegness and Spilsby), and west Norfolk (including King's Lynn, Hunstanton, Sandringham, Swaffham and Downham Market), plus the north-easternmost part of Northamptonshire, the easternmost part of Rutland and very small parts of Bedfordshire.
