Whether it’s an outfit for that special occasion or a piece of beautiful homeware, stroll along The Lanes and you’re sure to find what you’re looking for. Impeys Occasionwear has a great selection for any smart event.

Jewellery stores feature heavily here. Lanes Fine Jewellery - official jeweller to Leicester City Football Club - is run by husband and wife team Carli and Ercan Onguc. They pride themselves on stocking fabulous pieces, while offering the most personal customer service.

Mosaic specialises in stunning handmade pieces, while Harlequin has everything you could want for redecorating your home – from soft furnishings to furniture – and really oozes style.
With its abundance of coffee shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, you’re never far away from the perfect pit stop to keep you refreshed and on the go.

At Cocoa Amore on Silver Street you’ll be greeted by friendly staff, whose passion for all things chocolate is evident from the moment you step through the door! Immerse yourself in a chocolate experience, from quality, affordable handmade treats, to hands-on chocolate making workshops.

No visit to Leicester’s shopping core is complete without taking some time out to explore the historic Victorian streets and arcades of The Lanes. We’re sure you’ll love these quirky independents, owned by people who show real passion for what they do.
