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 at Leicester Cathedral. The city is also 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 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.

“Flew into City Airport from Brussels for a Leicester City home match. Booked the Saloon at £135 and the driver was waiting in arrivals. Straight up the M1, no fuss, and he dropped me at King Power with 45 minutes to spare. I missed the kick-off queues entirely. Return booked before I even left the stadium. Will use every time I fly in for a match from now on.”

“My daughter started at the University of Leicester in September. We flew from Dublin to City Airport and booked the Estate at £155 for all her first-year luggage. The driver loaded everything, drove straight to her halls on Oadby campus, and even helped carry bags to her room. Two hours fifteen minutes door to door. She was set up and I was back at the airport for my return flight inside four hours.”

“I fly monthly from Zurich to City Airport for our Leicester pharmaceutical office. The Executive Saloon at £195 has been my standard for 18 months. Always the same standard: name board in arrivals, professional driver, M1 straight through, and dropped at our Meridian Business Park office well under two and a half hours. My PA now books it automatically with every inbound flight booking.”
