About the City

With a population of 280,000, Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands and the tenth largest in the country. (The county of Leicestershire has a population of approximately 624,000)

The City of Leicester is undergoing a dramatic transformation. This dynamic and cosmopolitan city has embarked on an ambitious and exciting £2 billion investment programme that will see the creation of a new City Centre office quarter next to the railway station, an expansion of the Shires Shopping Centre to be anchored by a new John Lewis department store, a £48 million performing arts centre, a massive programme of city centre town and waterside housing, waterfront and marina development, and the biggest investment in acute health care services outside London. This investment will provide a dynamic new future, not only for the City but the region as a whole.

Leicester is also Britain's first Environment City. The designation was awarded in 1990 by the Royal Society for Nature Conservation and the Civic Trust in recognition of the city's pioneering environmental programmes. Leicester has long been graced with an abundance of parkland. Just beyond the city boundary lie almost one thousand acres of wild moorland and ancient woods at Bradgate and Swithland.
