At the bustling heart of Leicester city centre stands its iconic Clock Tower. Fanning out in all directions from this well-loved local landmark are shopping malls (including Highcross, with its cinema and eclectic mix of restaurants), and pedestrianised streets boasting a wealth of independent shops, eateries and vibrant pubs.
On the same spot for over 700 hundred years, Leicester's thriving market includes an award-winning Food Hall built and over 270 stalls.
The city is a wonderful mixture of ancient and modern. The medieval cathedral, the final resting place of King Richard III. Nearby is the highly acclaimed visitors centre dedicated to the king's life, plus the half-timbered, 1300's Guildhall. The city boasts excellent sporting facilities, with the King Power Stadium being the home of Leicester City Football Club; a club who confounded all the odds by winning the Premier League title in 2016.
One of the most diverse cities to live in, Leicester celebrates the rich traditions of many cultures.
