About Leicester - Leicester is a major commercial and manufacturing centre, known better for the diversity of its trade than for its dependence on a single industry. For centuries people of different races and cultures have gathered in Leicester, creating a rich and unique heritage. This diversity continues today: the city's thriving ethnic minority community accounts for more than a third of Leicester's population and continues to enrich city life.
Shopping - Leicester's central shopping region boasts several different shopping areas, as well as Europe's largest covered market and many streets providing a wealth of different local and national stores.
