Why Move to Leicester?
With a thriving house market, two universities, stand-out visitor attractions and excellent shopping, Leicester is a firm favourite with young people and families alike.
Leicester has a rich history, as both the resting place of King Richard III and the home of Thomas Cook’s first railway excursion, built in 1841. Today, visitors can retrace his steps by steam train.
Historically linked to the textile industry, Leicester City Centre continues to host key businesses such as Boden and Next. The area has the second largest economy in the East Midlands, with major companies like KPMG, Santander, British Gas, HSBC, and BT establishing a strong presence in the city, providing numerous job opportunities.

Leicester is highly accessible, thanks to its close proximity to the M1, M6, M42, and major road networks connecting both the north and south. This makes cities like Birmingham, Coventry, London, and Leeds easily reachable. East Midlands airport is also conveniently close, opening up access to overseas destinations whether you travel regularly for work or you’re planning a holiday.
The city is on the main train route to Kings Cross St Pancras as well as stations further north. Leicester also offers regular bus services and an extensive cycle network, making travel within the city straightforward.
From primary through to secondary education, parents can feel confident in the quality of schooling available, with many schools recognised for their academic excellence and commitment to student development. In addition to its schools, Leicester is also home to several colleges of further education.
Those who love sport will love Leicester. Football, rugby, cricket and basketball are all important sports activities in the city. Elsewhere there are leisure centres enabling amateur sports from netball to swimming, hockey to athletics – something for everyone!
With a large student population, there are plenty of nightclubs, bars and restaurants as well as museums and galleries, the Curve Theatre, Highcross Leicester and the National Space Centre.
Each year a range of live music and festivals take place in and around the city, bringing the community together for unforgettable experiences.
With options ranging from from semi-detached houses with gardens to contemporary townhouses, the city caters to all needs and budgets, making it a desirable place to live for individuals and families alike. Leicester’s neighbourhoods are varied, each with its own unique character, allowing you to select a location that best suits your personal preferences.
The heart of Leicester is its shopping district, home to the 800-year-old market, one of the largest in Europe.
You’ll find a mix of independent boutiques, charming arcades, and plenty of places to eat and drink in The Lanes, alongside popular high street stores in the Highcross shopping centre. Leicester also offers a wide selection of well-regarded cafes, pubs, restaurants, and hotels, as well as essential services like supermarkets, post offices, and more.
