Leicester, Leicestershire
Leicester - one of the few cities in England that are OK to live in.
Unpretentious, multi-cultural, tolerant, and diverse – a great place to raise kids. We have loads of great bars (heads up to the West End in particular), and the best Indian sweet shops and restaurants in the UK. In the summer there are loads really good festivals and events. We have a good art-house hang out (The Phoenix) and reasonable shopping. It takes an hour and 15 minutes to get to London on the train.
We have a few museums, but the City Gallery is too small and doesn’t catch many interesting exhibitions. The city is investing in a multi-million pound cultural quarter so hopefully in terms of the cutting edge things will improve.
