Its waterfront provides a perfect place to stroll, stop for a drink, listen to music and relax and its within easy walking distance of Leicester's historic parks. It is only 5 minutes walk to the city centre which makes it so accessible, yet still far enough out to avoid the noisy night clubs.

Braunstone Gate has a wonderfully vibrant culture and appeal of its own, with an abundance of restaurants, takeaways and bars.
