City guide
Leicester
Leicester is one of Britain's most ethnically diverse cities, shaped by migration from South Asia and East Africa since the 1960s. Leicester Cathedral, where Richard III was reburied in 2015 after his remains were found under a car park, anchors a compact centre with a Cultural Quarter of theatres and bars.
