Leicester is a modern and vibrant city, friendly and welcoming, creative and cultural. It is large enough to have the social life and activities you'd expect in a big city, but isn’t so sprawling that you will feel lost. Recent investment has given the city centre a facelift with a fantastic new theatre, shopping centre and much more.
