Neighbourhoods

Leicester is made up of a series of neighbourhoods – each with its own unique style and character, together making up the diverse and distinctive charm of the city.

Take a stroll down the cobbled streets of the Old Town, steeped in medieval history; enjoy the river and canal-side scenery in Aylestone; hang out with the fashionable crowd in the hustle and bustle of Queens Road independent shops and eateries or take in a show at the magnificent Curve theatre at the heart of St George’s Cultural Quarter – the possibilities for experiences are endless!

So what are you in the mood for? We recommend you explore as many of Leicester’s neighbourhoods as you can to get a real feel for the city – they are all easily accessible either by a short walk or public transport from the city centre.
