About Leicester
Leicester - Historic King Richard III City
Leicester is a city that made global headlines when the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a car park in 2012, later reinterred with full honours at Leicester Cathedral. This remarkable discovery put the city firmly on the world heritage map, but Leicester has much more to offer. The city is home to Leicester City Football Club, whose fairy-tale 2015-16 Premier League triumph captured hearts worldwide, playing at the impressive King Power Stadium. Leicester's multicultural heritage, with one of the UK's largest Asian communities, has created a vibrant cultural scene and exceptional food offerings, particularly along the famous Golden Mile on Belgrave Road. The University of Leicester and De Montfort University bring tens of thousands of students to the city, while the National Space Centre offers world-class science attractions. Leicester Market, one of Europe's largest covered markets, has traded for over 700 years. The city's Roman heritage is visible at the Jewry Wall, while New Walk provides a beautiful car-free promenade to the excellent New Walk Museum. Leicester is the gateway to the East Midlands, with easy access to the Peak District and Leicestershire countryside.
