Leicester is known for...
Leicester is a city and unitary authority area in the East Midlands of England, and the county town of Leicestershire. The city lies on the River Soar and at the edge of the National Forest.
Leicester is at the intersection of two major railway lines—the north/south Midland Main Line and the east/west Birmingham to London Stansted CrossCountry line; as well as the confluence of the M1/M69 motorways and the A6/A46 trunk routes.
Indians account for around 28% of Leicester’s population and up to 35,000 people attend the switch-on of the Diwali lights on Belgrave Road every year and more attend the day-long celebrations.
