For a stylish night out, head to one of the city’s champagne or vodka bars, followed by either some serious clubbing, live music at De Montfort Hall, comedy at Jongleurs, or maybe dinner. Leicester’s many cultures are reflected in its eateries. Amongst them you’ll find Italian, Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Creole, French and Arabic cuisine. With Thames Tower’s location in the heart of Leicester, you’ll be well placed to enjoy all the city has to offer, making this an ideal proposition for both long term residents and those looking for an excellent shorter term base.



Location:

The vibrant city of Leicester, once a small Celtic settlement in the heart of England, has had its identity shaped by the many cultures it has welcomed – from Jewish to West Indian, Latvian and Asian. Yet just beyond the city boundary lie a thousand acres of wild moorland and the ancient woods of Bradgate and Swithland. Within the city itself, Thames Tower’s central location means that many of the city’s attractions are a just a stroll away: for example the picturesque old town, Castle Park, with its historic buildings, gateways, riverside walks and museums.

Leicester Market, Europe’s largest and finest covered outdoor market, is around 700 years old. Footballer turned broadcaster Gary Lineker used to work here on his father’s stall.

New Walk Museum and Art Gallery houses collections from the natural and cultural world. Learn of ancient civilisations, local geology and see the paintings of ‘Expressionism and Beyond.’

Phoenix Arts, which is open seven days a week, has a national reputation for its adventurous programme of performing arts and a cinema that screens both contemporary film and classics.



TRAVEL



Leicester has excellent transport links, being situated just over 2 hours from London and 50 minutes from Birmingham. It is well served by major roads, with the A47 leading off the M1 right into the city centre. Living in Leicester also offers a choice of air links, from the nearby East Midlands airport.



Plan:



The Thames Tower reaches 58 metres over Leicester and offers views of up to ten miles from the top floor. Originally built for commercial use in the 1960s, its redevelopment will provide the city with a stylish apartment block comprising of 112 one and two bedroom apartments.
