[[File:Sir Samuel Morton Peto.JPG|thumb|right|The bust of Peto in Norwich Station (2010)]]
An extremely unfavourable portrait of Peto is included in the appendix to [[George Borrow]]'s ''[[The Romany Rye|Romany Rye]]'', where he is described as "Mr. Flamson". When Peto promoted the Lowestoft Railway and Harbour Company in the 1840s, the railway split Borrow's estate at [[Oulton Broad]], just outside Lowestoft. Borrow deeply resented this and bore a grudge against Peto thereafter.<ref>{{cite book| last=Knapp| first=William| title=Life, Writings and Correspondence of George Borrow |location=London| publisher=John Murray| year=1899| volume=2| pages=52–53| url=https://archive.org/details/lifewritingsand00unkngoog| via=Archive.org}}</ref>

Peto is commemorated by a portrait bust at [[Norwich railway station]] by John Pooler.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://sculpturefornorwich.co.uk/NorwichSculpture.php?id=166| title=Bust of Sir Samuel Morton Peto – Station| publisher=Sculpture for Norwich| access-date=27 July 2014| url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812124407/http://sculpturefornorwich.co.uk/NorwichSculpture.php?id=166| archive-date=12 August 2014}}</ref> Morton Peto Road, a road in Great Yarmouth, was named after him. There is a road in Lowestoft called "Peto Way" that connects Lowestoft railway station (via Denmark Road, again in connection with Peto's legacy in Denmark) to Normanston.

In [[Ashford. Kent]], Samuel Peto Way is a residential road built upon the old Newtown Railway Works site and was named in his honour.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/postcode/tn240xp | title=Interesting Information for Samuel Peto Way, Ashford, TN24 0XP Postcode }}</ref>
