LEICESTER | Walking tour of Leicester City Centre
LEICESTER | A walking tour of Leicester City Centre
We take a look around the city centre of Leicester, England to see what it's like and what's there!
This is the second time we've been to this great city, with the time before being at Christmas last year.
The city of Leicester is most famous for its culturally diverse scene and world-class universities. Arts and culture thrive in the aptly named Cultural Quarter, where you can find dozens of galleries, museums, and theatres putting on a wide range of events.
In the busy City Centre, pedestrian streets lined with fashion and sportswear stores fan out from the landmark 1868 Clock Tower, and malls include Highcross, with a cinema and global eats. Near the medieval Cathedral, the King Richard III Visitor Centre highlights the 15th-century ruler’s life and the discovery of his grave in a nearby car park. The half-timbered, 1300s Guildhall hosts performances and has a museum.
Leicester has been named as one of the best cities in which to live and work in the UK, according to latest research. The 2015 Good Growth for Cities Index ranks Leicester in the top 10 of UK cities, highest in the Midlands and ahead of London and Cardiff.
Leicester is the most dangerous city in Leicestershire, and is among the top 10 most dangerous overall out of Leicestershire's 230 towns, villages, and cities. The overall crime rate in Leicester in 2021 was 112 crimes per 1,000 people.
With a population of more than 300,000, Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands and the tenth largest in the country. People from Leicester are Leicesterians.

Leicester has been named as one of the best places to be a student in the UK, according to the Student Living Index 2020. The index has been put together by NatWest, and it ranks Leicester in the top three student cities, just behind Manchester and Cambridge.
Leicester has a varied selection of attractions – from family favourites to historical gems and intergalactic delights, there’s bound to be something to keep you entertained in the city!
The 2012 unearthing and identification of the remains of King Richard III in a council car park has sparked a revival of interest in the city’s heritage, where there are numerous historical treasures waiting to be discovered – where else can you cover 2,000 years of history in a day? Check out the magnificent Roman Jewry wall, the King’s tomb in Leicester Cathedral and the out-of-this world National Space Centre for a journey through time – to infinity and beyond!
Art lovers will be pleased to learn that amongst the city’s impressive galleries is the largest collection of German Expressionist artwork in the UK. You can also find the family favourite dinosaur gallery at Leicester Museum & Art Gallery – complete with the 15 metre long Rutland dinosaur!
For those who like their culture a little louder, Leicester’s music and sports scenes will not disappoint. Kasabian are just one of the many musical talents who have honed their craft on Leicester’s buzzing live music scene. From the roar of the concert hall to the roars in the stands, Leicester is spoilt with top football, rugby, basketball and cricket sides.
And it’s not just the sporting theatre’s that are grabbing the headlines in this city. The ground-breaking architectural masterpiece Curve theatre is just one of the city's fantastic theatrical venues, attracting national shows as well as creating sell-out productions.
