About Leicester

Leicester is a vibrant and diverse city in the East Midlands, home to a population of more than 390,000 people. Rich in Victorian heritage and cultural history, the city blends historic architecture with modern regeneration, creating an attractive place to live for families, professionals and students alike.

Well-positioned close to the M1 motorway, Leicester benefits from strong transport connections across the Midlands and beyond. Direct rail services to London St Pancras International take around 1 hour 10 minutes, making it a viable option for commuters as well as those travelling for business.

The city is known for its green spaces and family-friendly neighbourhoods. Abbey Park, Bradgate Park and the River Soar provide attractive outdoor areas for walking, cycling and leisure activities.

Education is a key draw for the area. There are a number of well-regarded schools across the city, including Rushey Mead Academy, which has previously been rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted. Leicester is also home to two major universities, the University of Leicester and De Montfort University supporting a large and dynamic student population. Many graduates choose to remain in the city after completing their studies, sustaining strong demand for rental property and first-time buyer homes.

Leicester has a growing economy supported by a thriving creative and digital sector, alongside established industries in manufacturing, engineering and professional services. Major employers in and around the city include IBM and a range of national and international businesses. Healthcare is another important sector, with three major hospitals serving the city and surrounding areas.
