Leicester is a city and unitary authority in the East
Midlands of England, and the county town of Leicestershire. It has the second
largest urban area in the East Midlands region. Leicester is a city for individuals
and this is reflected in its shopping. The big brand names can all be found in
the city's two large indoor shopping centres.
Interesting place to visit at Leicester is the Haymarket
Shopping Centre. If you want to look a million dollars but
not spend a fortune doing it, then this is the place to go! Located just next
to the Clock Tower, it has a great mix of affordable fashion stores all under
one roof, all offering a different range of styles and sizes.
Did you know that Leicester is the birthplace of
tourism? Thomas Cook, who lived in Leicester for over 50 years, introduced the
world to tourism when he organised an excursion from Leicester to Loughborough
in 1841. There is a walking trail around Leicester, visiting places connected
with his life including where he lived and worked and his grave at Welford
Cemetery.
