My Recommendations
for Leicester
Getting Around
Most guests don't drive to Leicester city centre as the apartment is located within walking distance to the train station, shops, bars, and restaurant.
You can also hire a bike directly the apartment or catch an Uber which are easily available.
Leicester Railway Station
London RoadSt Margaret's Bus Station
Food Scene
Most guests enjoy a Deliveroo delivered to the apartment. My top 3 places to visit Kai, the foodcourt at the Highcross shopping centre, or the street food from Grays cafe
Located next door to the Penthouse, if you want to dine or just have a drink with friends, they can keep everybody warm and dry with large gazebos, marquee & heaters
Also on offer is an extensive range of drinks… ranging from organic beer and cider from local brewers Hoskins Brothers and Tadcaster’s Samuel Smiths, wine selected by local merchants Francis fine wines, a Grays take on cocktails, and the highly regarded coffee and tea served daily at this hidden gem in the city centre.
